Know Our Story

Zenith Africa, founded by Akhona Mdawe, was born out of concern during the 2020 lockdowns, when access to basic essentials was limited. That question lit a fire.

What began as an attempt to create biodegradable pads from banana fibre waste eventually evolved into something more impactful. A solution that is not only sustainable but restores dignity and choice.

We exists because no one should have to struggle through their period.

Tshilidzi Project

Co-founded by youth development leaders Viwe Gilbert Bonga and Athenkosi Excellence Mashicila, Tshilidzi Project is a nonprofit that works in under-resourced schools across Cape Town, especially in areas like Philippi. The organisation provides academic support, mentorship, and personal development programs to students who face financial and systemic barriers.

Tshilidzi Project currently serves over 200 Grade 8 and 9 learners, offering tutoring in core subjects (English, Maths, Science, Life Orientation), debate and public speaking training, and mentorship for life and career readiness.

Together, Ubuhle Pads and Tshilidzi Project create a holistic support ecosystem

While Ubuhle Pads provides dignity through menstrual health, Tshilidzi Project ensures educational upliftment and future opportunity.

Our Shared Vision: Impact That’s Deep & Sustainable

Bridging Academic & Financial Barriers
Many learners in our communities struggle not just with physical needs but with school performance and planning for tertiary studies. Through in-school tutoring, mentorship, and career guidance, Tshilidzi helps remove those barriers.

Supporting Workplace & Higher-Education Readiness
As students progress, we offer guidance and preparation to equip them for university or entering the workforce—ensuring the girls we serve can fulfil their potential academically and economically.

Aligned with Ubuhle’s Beneficiary Model
We understand that those who benefit from our pads are not always able to purchase them. Tshilidzi helps us match sponsors and donors to beneficiary schools, learners, and communities in a transparent, meaningful way. It’s not just about giving pads—it’s about enabling futures.

Expertise and Collaborations Dedicated To Your Success

We understand that menstrual health and mental health are deeply connected. That’s why we’ve partnered with Connctd, a platform dedicated to making mental health support more accessible.

Witness our Drive

We believe knowledge fuels progress. That’s why we not only provide solutions but also share thought leadership through articles, insights, and community updates. Our articles spotlight the issues we care about most. From sustainable menstrual health practices and workplace period-friendliness to social impact strategies and innovative approaches in community empowerment.
