Why Hygiene?
Good hygiene is crucial for overall health, dignity, and well-being. Lack of access to basic hygiene products can be detrimental in many ways, especially to those already marginalized.
Health Risks
Insufficient access to hygiene products like soap, deodorant, and feminine care can lead to skin infections, rashes, and other preventable health issues.
Social & Mental Well-being
Not having access to hygiene essentials can contribute to social stigma, exclusion, and lower self-esteem, particularly among at-risk youth who may face bullying or isolation.
Barriers to Access
Marginalized communities, including those experiencing homelessness, poverty, and systemic discrimination, often struggle to afford or access hygiene products, affecting their health and overall quality of life.
Impact on At-Risk and Homeless Youth
At-risk and homeless youth often lack the resources for personal hygiene, leading to negative impacts on their physical, emotional, social, and academic development. Many youth experiencing poverty or homelessness struggle to access hygiene facilities, a problem worsened since the COVID-19 pandemic.
By providing essential hygiene products, we aim to foster healthier, more confident individuals and build stronger, more resilient communities.
