The women-led wellness organisation collected 360 packs of sanitary pads and turned them into 180 care packs for learners facing period poverty.
Johannesburg, South Africa (08 December 2025) – Kyma Yoga Flow has always positioned itself as more than a wellness space, and its latest outreach initiative has shown just how deeply the organisation lives that purpose. Founder Chevonne Ramharuk recently led a community-driven effort that combined yoga, solidarity and menstrual dignity in one powerful project.
It began as a simple idea for a themed yoga class, but grew into something far bigger. The class doubled as a donation point for menstrual products, and the response from the Kyma Yoga Flow community exceeded every expectation. By the end of the drive, enough funds and products had been collected to purchase 360 packs of sanitary pads, later repacked into 180 care parcels for matric learners at Ivory Park Secondary School.
Chevonne says creating impact through women-focused work is at the heart of what she does.
“Kyma Yoga Flow is centred on women’s wellness and empowerment.”
The decision to support Ivory Park Secondary came after learning more about the realities many of its learners face. The school had openly shared how period poverty affects attendance, especially during exam season. For Chevonne and her team, stepping in where the need was urgent felt right, especially for matric students preparing for the most important exams of their schooling journey.

While menstrual health is often discussed quietly or avoided altogether, the Kyma team wanted the drive to bring compassion and awareness. Many girls still miss school, rely on makeshift alternatives or experience deep embarrassment around menstruation.
“Our goal was to provide reliable menstrual products so that the girls could focus fully on their studies without stress or shame.”
Behind the scenes, the project relied on a network of dedicated women who handled everything from fundraising to repackaging. Lerato Saasa and Thembakazi Sixaxa helped identify the specific needs at Ivory Park and coordinated directly with the school to ensure the parcels were delivered to the right learners.
Chevonne believes true wellbeing goes beyond stretching and guided breathing. It also includes access, dignity and social upliftment.
“Community care is powerful.”
The generosity shown through this campaign has reinforced her belief that meaningful change is possible when people come together with intention.
