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

Many of my students come from families facing economic hardship and struggling to afford basic hygiene products. This lack of access can impact their health, confidence, and ability to focus on school. I am raising funds to provide essential hygiene kits for my students. Having basic hygiene products will help my students feel clean, confident, and ready to learn. By providing these hygiene kits, we can Improve students' health and hygiene. Boost students' confidence and self-esteem. Reduce absenteeism due to hygiene- related issues. Create a more positive and inclusive learning environment for all students.
