My Project
This project aims to ensure that all students have access to the basic resources—clean clothing and classroom materials—necessary for their comfort, well-being, and academic success. By addressing these basic needs, we can remove barriers that might otherwise hinder students from fully engaging in school and thriving in the classroom environment.
Create a supportive, non-stigmatizing environment where students receive help discreetly, ensuring they feel comfortable and dignified in receiving support.
Foster a sense of belonging and confidence by making sure every student has the resources they need to engage in learning without feeling embarrassed or distracted by material or clothing limitations.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
