Cleanliness is a perennial challenge for food-deprived parents who have to choose between shampoo and soap or food and dressings. Today’s choices are for health and cleanliness, good health, and the well-being of children.
We see people making those choices all the time.

Parents often share with me the heartbreaking reality that if their children don’t appear clean and healthy at school, they can become targets for ridicule. Imagine the impact on a child’s confidence and self-esteem.
When we provide items like shampoo and hand soap, we’re not just offering hygiene but a sense of relief. This means parents can use their limited resources to buy fresh produce and desserts, a luxury they often have to forego. Cleanliness is one of those things the parents don’t ever let go of.
Please help if you can.
