Sonop

Sonop's vision & mission:

Sonop’s vision is to give a group of female students at the University of Stellenbosch, not only the opportunity of being Maties, but also the unique experience of having a community- where every Sonopper is empowered to reach their full potential, for their own benefit and to the advantage of everyone they will encounter as a Global citizen. Our mission is to establish Sonop as a dynamic entity, by staying true to our values. To establish Sonop’s identity as an entity, that is focused on building relationships-intentionally, within the residence as well as with the greater community. To be united in our diversity and strive to be the best residence we can be.

What are we currently doing?

(1) ProjectPads: This project aims to provide free sanitary products to Sonoppers.

(2) Shoes and Socks Project: This project aims to provide shoes and socks to Parkwood Primary. This is a collaborative project between ASA, Aurora and Sonop.

(3) Sanitary Pad Campaign: This project aims to provide sanitary products to the Safe House Stellenbosch Shelter, SU female residences and the SU Social Work Offices.

(4) Jars of Hope: This project will run during Sonop Week. Sonoppers will gather donations and spend an afternoon together filling jars or packs with these food items. The food packs will be dropped off at Food in Action.
