My Project

My students come from low-income families and do not have the money to buy basic health supplies. They were never taught the proper way to wash and take care of their physical needs. The body wipes and deodorant will be used on a daily basis.

Nothing is worse than watching a student's confidence be affected by a lack of financial means.

No one should be made fun of because of their hygiene especially when they are not old enough to buy the basic supplies themselves. Every child deserves the opportunity to feel clean and start their day like that.
