My Project

The primary goal of this project is to supply students with hygiene items such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, and feminine hygiene products. These items are crucial for maintaining personal cleanliness, health, and self-confidence. By addressing these needs, we aim to create a more inclusive and supportive school environment where all students can thrive. To ensure personal comfort and confidence: I will provie hygiene materials, we will aim to help students feel more comfortable and confident in their daily interactions and activities at school.

To promote health and well-being, I will incorporate into the Curriculum: hygiene education into various subjects where relevant, such as biology (learning about germs), health education, or even during physical education classes.

Incorporate Games and Activities: Create games or activities that involve hygiene practices, such as hygiene bingo or role-playing scenarios where students practice what they've learned. I will regularly revisit hygiene topics throughout the school year to reinforce good habits and address any misconceptions. I will use visual aids: Posters, charts, and videos to reinforce key concepts and make learning about hygiene practices more engaging.

Many of my students come from low-income families and may not have consistent access to personal care products. This lack can lead to embarrassment, absenteeism, and even bullying, which can severely impact a student's ability to focus and succeed academically. By providing these essential items, we can help alleviate some of the stresses these students face and allow them to focus more on their education.
