Trigger onchange when adding/removing an option on a select (ReactJs)

I want to trigger a function when i add a new option in a select. This is the code in the select

<select name="projects" id="projects" onChange={handleChange}>
              {Object.keys(items.projects).length !== 0 ? 
              items.projectList.map(i => {return<option>{i}</option>})
              : <option>Create new project</option> }
            </select>

Function where i trigger the adding of option in select

function handleAdd(event,name,desc){
        itemDispatch({type:'ADD_PROJECT', name, desc});
        document.getElementById("projects").dispatchEvent(new Event ('change'));
        event.preventDefault();
    }

The handleChange function

 function handleChange(){
        alert("change");
    }
