Hygiene Closet

Help me give my students a hygiene closet for students who need personal hygiene products.

$659 goal

Hooray! This project is fully funded

My Project

My students live in an highly-impoverished area where the majority of the students are African-American. Not all the students in the building have the ability to afford personal hygiene products, so this leads to some students coming to school not smelling very pleasant. This causes other students to make fun of them.

My goal is to create a "Hygiene Closet" that teachers and staff will know about to help that child out.

Students could come to the closet, and he/she could receive some personal products to stop or prevent this from happening. Other students do NOT understand that all students do not have what they have. Teachers and other staff members could send them to the closet to help them out.
