Personal Hygiene Care for Those in Need

Help me give my students access to much-needed hygiene items, such as feminine products, deodorant, tissues, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and paper towels.

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

Do you know how often you use hygiene throughout your day? Well, let me tell you. We use it a lot! Personal hygiene plays a major role in promoting self-esteem and a healthy life.

When we provide hygiene products for students, we help them be and feel better physically, mentally, and socially.

The adolescent years are a tough time for students and having access to items like deodorant, feminine products, toothpaste, and toothbrushes, enables them to feel more comfortable and safe at school.

It is the little things that make the big difference in someone’s life, and by providing hygiene products to students, we’re leaving a great impact on their lives, health-wise, psychologically, and socially.
