Hi, my name is Loyiso Hlatshwayo,I'm  a student from , South Africa. I’m currently in my final year of school , working hard every day to build a better future.

This month, my school is hosting a month-long camp, and I’m expected to attend and participate fully. While I’m grateful that food will be provided, I’m still facing a real challenge:

I don’t have the basic essentials I need to attend and get through the camp with confidence.

That’s why I’ve launched this campaign, with a humble goal of R5,000. I’m not asking for a lot — just enough to help me get through this tough time.

How the Funds Will Be Used

Every cent will go towards things I truly need, including:

School clothes (socks, underwear, shirts, etc.)

Toiletries & hygiene items (toothpaste, soap, roll-on, sanitary supplies)

Study materials (stationery, notebooks, a school bag)

Transport fees to and from the school/camp

A small emergency fund for anything unexpected during the month

I’ve kept the target low and the goal clear because I want to show that your donation, no matter how small, will make a real difference. Even R20, R50, or R100 will help me take a step forward.

Why I Need Your Support 

I’ve tried many platforms. I’ve posted, shared, asked — but not a single donation has come in. I’ve been doing this all on faith. I’m not asking for fame or big money. I just want to be prepared, show up like every other learner, and not feel left out because of things I can’t afford.

This campaign isn’t about luxury — it’s about dignity. About having the basics so I can focus on learning, growing, and becoming the person I dream of being.

Deadline & Urgency

The camp starts soon, and I need to be fully prepared in the next few days. If you can donate, please do. If you can’t, just sharing this would mean so much.

Thank you for reading my story — and thank you in advance for any kindness you can offer.
