Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Having access to proper hygiene support is essential for students as it promotes their physical health, reduces absenteeism, and fosters a positive self-image. When students can maintain good hygiene, they are less likely to face health issues, which allows them to focus better on their studies and engage more fully in school activities. Additionally, good hygiene helps build social confidence and acceptance, creating a more inclusive environment. Overall, supporting students' hygiene needs lays the foundation for their academic success and well-being. All hygienic products will be made freely accessible to students as they need it.

Many of our students face barriers to accessing basic hygiene items, which can significantly impact their health and well-being.

I am requesting your support in providing essential hygienic products for our students.

Your generous donations will help us ensure that every student has the resources needed to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Together, we can create a more equitable environment where all students can thrive.
