All Things Charlie

A creative website called All Things Charlie curates products, services and content. Through events, content and products that improve quality of life, they hope to improve the lives of women and the ecosystems that support them. They want to connect, share, encourage, motivate, mentor and assist women in all facets of life so that they may reach their greatest potential and lead genuine lives.The project is registered under the All Things Charlie trust recently which recently launched The Sanitary Towel Project (TSTP) on 11 June in Swakopmund, which is registered as a project under the registered trust named The Blush Foundation. The objective of the initiative is to provide sanitary towels and information to girls of menstruating age who cannot afford sanitary towels by empowering and supporting these girls during their school-going years.The shortage of sanitary towels is a global issue, but it is most acute in rural communities, where girls frequently turn to unsanitary ways to care for themselves during this period. “While many of us take the need for sanitary towels for granted, many young women lack the resources to buy them,” founder Charlie Hartung said. Consequently, due to poverty and unforeseen circumstances, they must adopt different methods to regulate their monthly cycle, which frequently causes many girls to miss school. This leads to these young girls receiving lesser marks and, ultimately, a poorer education.According to Hartung, “we have procured around 12 000 packages of sanitary towels since the project's inception, and the TSTP has distributed them in Swakopmund, Henties Bay, Uis, Aus, Rehoboth, Karibib, Usakos and Omaruru,” she said. The project has continued to receive numerous approaches from organisations and schools in desperate need of sanitary towels for young girls in their various regions. The project will host a fundraiser in Windhoek on Saturday, 8 October, with the theme ‘Blush and Bubbles’, sponsored by Pongracz, along with assistance from a popular radio station Fresh FM. Tickets for this event will be available allthingscharlie.com website, which also comes with appetisers, sparkling wine and gift bags.Hartung said: “As a woman, so much is expected of us. This expectation has not only been put on us by others, but also by ourselves. In an ever-changing environment, we too have to change and adapt, with information being available without us having to go far or put in too much effort.” She continues to explain that women frequently have the most difficulty finding a balance between their own priorities and taking care of others. In an attempt to guarantee that women are living their most genuine lives, it is more crucial than ever for business women, stay-at-home moms and carefree souls to strike a balance in their lives.
