Confidence Starts With Cleanliness

Help me give my students hygiene materials that will help them feel clean, confident, comfortable, and ready to focus on learning each day.

Ms. Mitchell KIPP Gcp Middle School
Gaston, NC Grades 6-8

My Project

Every child deserves to walk into school feeling clean, confident, and ready to learn. For many of my students, basic hygiene items are not always easily accessible, which can affect their confidence, comfort, attendance, and ability to focus in class.

My students are bright, hardworking, and full of potential.

They show up every day eager to learn and grow, even while facing challenges outside of school. With your support, we can provide essential hygiene materials such as deodorant, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, feminine hygiene products, and other daily care items that many students quietly go without.

These resources are more than just supplies—they are tools that help students feel valued, included, and prepared to succeed. A simple hygiene kit can restore confidence, reduce embarrassment, and remind a student that they are cared for. Your donation will help create a supportive environment where students can focus on learning instead of worrying about unmet basic needs.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
