JUST IN: The government met us halfway - Martins
Helping more girls in 2023
The I Got Your Back, My Sisters project has welcomed government’s decision to scrap value-added tax (VAT) on sanitary pads as of today.
The project donates sanitary pads to school girls from impoverished communities based in northern Namibia.
Tim Martins, the founder of the project, said government’s decision will allow him and his team to give more to young girls.
“Not only will it make our project much easier in terms of reducing the budgeted costs, but will also encourage donors to help us more.”
This, he said, will in return change the project’s approach in 2023 with more coverage.
Martins added that his team is thankful for this amendment and feel as though the government has met them halfway.
