My Project

We live in one of the highest-poverty counties in the state of Michigan and many of our students do not have access to basic health care items. We want to ensure our students have everything they need to feel fresh and confident at the beginning of every day!

Maslow's hierarchy of needs states that if basic needs are not met, learning cannot take place.

Health products are vital for students as they provide the necessary support for maintaining physical, mental, and emotional health. This holistic well-being is a key factor in ensuring that students can learn effectively, stay engaged in their studies, and achieve academic success.

Students need health products to enhance their ability to learn effectively and perform well academically. Health products, such as vitamins, nutritional supplements, and hygiene items, play a crucial role in maintaining and improving students' overall well-being. Good health is foundational to learning because it affects physical stamina, mental clarity, and emotional stability.
