Education
34% of teachers say students skip class due to hygiene issues. 66% have witnessed hygiene-related bullying in school.
Employment
Over two-thirds of employers say poor hygiene makes a person unemployable — a barrier that a single kit can begin to remove.
Health
Handwashing alone cuts diarrheal disease by one-third. Basic hygiene access prevents life-threatening, entirely preventable infections.
“It is as simple as access to soap and water to prevent viral illnesses — and as simple as being able to afford basic products to be work or school-ready.”— The Century Foundation, America’s Unspoken Hygiene Crisis
