My Project

Good hygiene is essential for maintaining overall health and well-being. It helps prevent the spread of germs, reduces the risk of infections, and boosts confidence. Students receiving these resources will be able to ensure they are able to attend school without the shame of not being prepared as it relates to poor hygiene.

The students will have a pantry where the kits can be received in an environment that will allow them to remain anonymous upon pickup.

Students with hygiene issues are sometimes bullied, teased, and, lacks confident along with self esteem issues.

All students should be able to come to school and feel safe, like they matter, and interact with their peers positively.
