I couldn't be prouder of the work we have done with Retroviral on such an important insight. Thank you to everyone that has help us bring our heads and hearts to life in a relevant and meaningful way.
As a dad of two young girls, working on Lil-Lets has presented some of the most profound insights. In South Africa, about 30% of girls stay home from school each month when they have their period. This problem is layered - from awareness / availability to cultural stigma (University of Pretoria research) and everything in between. As a result, these barriers have made it increasingly difficult for teens to open up about their period to their parents and guardians. This is a really important story for us. We want to be - and we want you to be -the Cycle Breakers. Anyone can break the cycle of shame and stigma and Lil-Lets is the brand that has the credibility and, most importantly, tools to arm you for impact. We purposefully cast real people with no acting experience, real moms and daughters, in order to capture their nervousness and vulnerability. We sat on the floors of bathroom stalls distracting them, talking about unrelated topics as they opened pads, in order to observe their faces move from awkwardness to relief and even joy; not the artificial kind too many competitors in the category end up manufacturing in their ads. This piece is several years in the making, from the inception of Kathryn's strategies and creative direction, and our relationship with Keryn Brien - pre-Covid - and the rest of the Lil-Lets team. It's been an Odyssey. Kath is on the other side of the world now, but her groundwork and infinite hours in the trenches have been the building blocks for the global, award-winning work that the brand continues to produce. Thank you KM. Thank you Keryn Kayli Koketso Mei Kgothatso Lesche-Ann Elizma Sarah Carolyn Corrinne Megan Binwe Megan Nobuhle Nomkhosi Pippa Jamie Hayley Rachael Nombulelo and everyone else who's been a chapter in this story...

Mister Bread, Premier FMCG’s regional bread brand in Mthatha, has taken a major step toward addressing the water scarcity challenge in the area, by unveiling a borehole in the Sibangweni Village as part of the Groundwater Harvesting Project by Mister Bread. In partnership with the local municipality, this borehole will harvest, treat and pump up to 150,000 - 200,000 litres of groundwater per year for the community. As a first-of-its-kind initiative in the area, it uses solar-powered, off-grid infrastructure to ensure sustainable water access for all. Our commitment goes beyond just the borehole. We are also donating resources like wheelbarrows and deploying water tankers into other communities around Mthatha to support people living with disabilities, child-headed households, and the elderly. Mister Bread is a local brand that has always cared deeply for the communities where we operate. Through this project, we are delivering both water and hope to Mthatha, demonstrating the brands long-term commitment to serving the community. #Sustainability #CommunityImpact #PremierFMCG #MisterBread #WaterScarcity #SocialResponsibility #WorldWaterMonth
