Help Me Keep Students Fresh and Confident! Donate Essentials Today!

Help me give my students the confidence to stay fresh because they have a hygiene kit they need!!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Waters's classroom raised $802

My Project

My project aims to provide essential hygiene products to students, ensuring they have the tools they need to maintain their cleanliness and confidence, especially as the weather heats up.

Many students struggle to access basic items like toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, menstrual pads, tampons, and body wipes, which can lead to bullying and social isolation.

By supplying these necessities, we can help foster a more supportive environment where students feel comfortable and valued.

The toothpaste and toothbrushes will promote oral health and fresh breath, while deodorant will help students manage body odor. Menstrual pads and tampons will support young women during their cycles, allowing them to attend school without worry. Body wipes can provide a convenient and refreshing option for quick clean-ups throughout the day. Ultimately, this project aims to uplift students and promote self-esteem by ensuring everyone has access to fundamental hygiene items.
