A KZN woman is celebrating her 720km "Walk of Dignity" from Johannesburg to Durban, to raise funds to buy sanitary towels for rural schools.
Ndiswa Ndaba's journey has captivated hearts and minds.
Ndaba, 23, from Pietermaritzburg, who is a founder of the KaMbambeni Foundation, embarked on a mission that started on May 28 and ended on Sunday.
She had been aware of the dire circumstances young girls face, often missing school due to the unavailability of sanitary towels.
"I am very happy to have finally completed this journey. It was a very challenging journey. We have received a lot more compliments than actual help itself, but we are going to keep going and be positive.
"Fund-raising-wise, it wasn't what I expected, but in terms of the awareness it was a very huge success," she said.
