Every year, the Active Civic Teaching Office (ACT) at the University of the Free State runs the Big Give campaign to raise food, money to buy food, and other forms of assistance for needy students. This year is no different. ACT’s big project is raising money for sanitary pads for students on all three campuses. The project will run throughout Women’s Month, August 2021. Providing menstrual hygiene products to female students empower them to continue their studies in comfort.
 
Karen Scheepers, Assistant Director: Kovsie Support Services, said: “This year, one of the challenges that have been highlighted is the lack of sanitary wear for students. Therefore, we focus our Big Give campaign this year on addressing this challenge that students are experiencing.”
 
Be part of the Big Give campaign by donating sanitary pads or money towards this initiative. Donation boxes are ready for donations at all the entrance gates of all three campuses. Your donation will go a long way in helping a deserving student.

             The University of the Free State (UFS) this morning celebrated the opening of the new gate at the Agriculture Building on the Main Campus in Bloemfontein. The gate, which runs out of DF Malherbe Avenue, is the third largest gate built on the Main Campus. Prof. Frederick Fourie, Rector and Vice-Chancellor of the UFS, said that the needs of the security guards who have to stand guard at the gates were taken into consideration with the design of the gates. From the left are: Mr Aggrey Litseho (Crime Investigation Officer of the UFS Protection Services Division), Mr Willie Frankim (Head of the UFS Protection Services Division) and Prof. Fourie.
