My Project

We are requesting funding to purchase essential hygiene products for the young ladies in our program. As our participants enter adolescence, many are navigating significant physical and emotional changes while often lacking access to the basic items needed for proper self-care. Providing them with hygiene kits—including soap, deodorant, oral care supplies, hair care items, and menstrual products—will support their health, dignity, and confidence. This funding will allow us to teach consistent hygiene practices, reinforce self-esteem, and ensure that every young lady has the resources necessary to participate fully and comfortably in school, program activities, and daily life. Your support will directly impact their well-being and help us foster lifelong habits of self-care and personal responsibility.
