Hygiene Products Help

Help me give my students hygiene products to ensure that they are clean and well-groomed to increase their self-esteem and ability to focus on academic tasks!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Lester's classroom raised $156

My Project

Many male and female scholars do not have access to an adequate supply of personal hygiene products, which is affecting their health, their confidence, and their ability to focus on academic tasks.

This grant would provide the hygiene products necessary to keep my students well-groomed and germ-free.

Feminine products, deodorant, mouth was and more are needed to help my students feel confident.

I have a hygiene corner, where students are able to take any hygiene products they need home without being asked any embarrassing questions. These products will help tremendously.
