My Project

A clean and healthy start can make all the difference in a child's day. Access to basic hygiene items like soap, toothpaste, deodorant, and more ensures that our students can focus on what truly matters: their education. By addressing these basic needs, we can enhance their confidence, improve attendance, and foster a positive school environment.

We're seeking your generous support to stock our Care Closet with necessary hygiene supplies.

Your donations will directly impact over 300 young learners, ensuring they have what they need to feel comfortable and ready to learn.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will help us provide these essential items to our students. Let's come together to support the future leaders, artists, and engineers of our community. With your help, we can create a nurturing and supportive environment for all our students.

Thank you for considering a donation to our Care Closet initiative. Together, we can empower our students to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
