She has also has been chosen as the Dear Bella Ambassador 2018/19. Dear Bella is a sanitary pads brand owned by Matefo Morakeng, which is a vehicle for empowering girls by providing access to affordable and quality sanitary pads.
One of Hou’s responsibilities as an ambassador is to raise enough money every month for pads for 50 girls from disadvantaged communities through a monthly buy-and-donate initiative.
