Rashika Reddy is eager is make a difference in the lives of women and young girls

Beyond her professional and pageantry achievements, Rashika is driven by a commitment to improving the lives of women by addressing period poverty.

Eager to make a difference, she leads initiatives that provide sanitary pads and menstrual health education to schools in eShowe, including uMlalazi Primary, Gratton School, and Little Flower School.

Since successfully launching the project in 2023, she has collaborated with local sponsors to ensure no girl misses school due to menstruation.

She recently visited Little Flower School where she hosted uplifting activities focusing on self-worth and the importance of good values.

Proving that exercise can be fun, she concluded her interactive session with a lively Zumba class.

“I believe that by uplifting society and supporting one another, we can help people become the best versions of themselves,” she commented.

As she continues to be a beacon of hope and change in her community, an example of leadership with heart, Rashika hopes that her name will remain synonymous with dedication, compassion and resilience.
