“Your Confidence Kits will really help our families who are struggling. The fact that the kits are so portable will be especially helpful to our families with housing instability. The laundry sheets and shampoo bars will especially be helpful, as they are small but will last a long time. We are honored to have been selected to receive your kits.” 

NC SCHOOL SOCIAL WORKER   August 2023

“Thank you for your generous gift of oral hygiene products for our Snack Pack Ministry to B.E. Jordan ES. Each week during the school year in partnership with five other churches provide weekend meals for almost one hundred students. The items donated by The Confidence Project will help to provide healthy smiles and promote good oral health. Thank you for helping us make a difference in the lives of the children in our community and we hope you will consider helping us again.” 

CHATHAM FRIENDS CHURCH   May 2023

“Thank you so much for all that you do for the children needing help with their personal care. It means a lot. Even though it might seem to others like it is nothing it is very helpful to children needing these hygiene items. It also makes children feel more confident and excited.” 

NC SCHOOL COUNSELOR   April 2023

“The hygiene products we have shared with students are a great resource and entry point for building trust and connection with youth and families.”

BOOSTING CONFIDENCE THROUGH HYGIENE

The presence of dirty clothes, body odor, or bad breath can unfortunately cast a child as an outcast among their peers, impacting their enthusiasm for attending school. This directly influences their confidence to actively engage in class activities, making them less likely to pose questions or seek help. Striving to avoid drawing attention to themselves, they intentionally refrain from participation, subsequently missing out on valuable opportunities in their academic journey. Concerns about external judgments can disrupt their focus on learning, ultimately affecting their transition into adulthood.

ENHANCING SCHOOL ATTENDANCE

Children facing bullying may feign illness to avoid confronting their tormentors. For middle and high-school-aged girls, the lack of access to menstrual supplies can result in missing several days of school monthly, further hindering their academic progress.

ELEVATING SCHOOL PERFORMANCE

A student’s reluctance to participate in the classroom translates to a missed opportunity to grasp essential information required for understanding complex concepts. Consequently, this leads to subpar performance on coursework and ultimately results in poor grades. The correlation is evident: improved hygiene fosters confidence, leading to increased attendance and active class participation, creating a positive cycle that enhances overall academic performance.
