Empowering Confidence

Bridging the Gap through Hygiene Care Initiatives

46% of teachers have now seen children bullied

because of their hygiene issues

it Started with a period.

Our journey began with a single realization: the impact of period poverty extends far beyond its immediate effects. Shockingly, 1 in 5 girls have missed school due to a lack of access to period products.

Through our efforts to combat period poverty, we recognized a broader challenge: the lack of access to essential hygiene products among all Glynn County students. This realization sparked the beginning of our Confidence Closet Initiative—our approach to equipping students with the essentials they need to attend school confidently and without hesitation.

Breaking Down barriers

Lack of access to hygiene products contributes to increased bullying and decreased school attendance among teens. Moreover, young women face additional challenges due to the lack of proper feminine hygiene products, exacerbating their difficulties.

We've established Confidence Closets in partnership with local organizations, ensuring that students have access to a range of hygiene essentials. From period products to toiletries and laundry supplies, ensuring that Glynn County teens have access to the essentials required to attend school confidently and thrive.

Children’s self-esteem is greatly affected by the reaction of those around them – and if they are stigmatised, ridiculed or rejected by their peers because of poor basic hygiene, their sense of self-worth will quickly nose-dive. No child wants to be taunted because they are dirty, or because their clothes are filthy. They’ll start to lose interest in their education, their friendships will suffer, and they’ll be reluctant to attend school.
