Water & Tissues For My Students

Help me give my students water to drink during the school day. I have been buying water for them and I can't afford it anymore. We also need tissues for blowing our noses in class.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Kimani's classroom raised $495

My Project

My students are very special to me and I treat them as though they are mine. Donations will help them stay healthy. They have been struggling with carrying their own tissues to blow their noses especially now when most of them are suffering from colds & flus. I have provided tissues from August to November and I cannot afford it anymore. My students also need water to drink throughout the day and I can't continue buying water anymore. Please help them with these two items. We will be very grateful.
