$10 Donation to Help Distribute Hygiene Kits

The Issue: Risk of Illness Following Natural Disasters

After a natural disaster, one of the biggest threats survivors face is the threat of disease. Poor sanitation in overcrowded shelters can cause hygiene-related health issues to run rampant. Basic hygiene products can help return a sense of normalcy and protect those who have recently suffered a catastrophe.

The Campaign: Distributing Hygiene Kits to Disaster Survivors

If 30 people donate $10 to this Grassroots campaign, then Heart to Heart International can distribute 30 hygiene-care kits to survivors of natural disasters. Each kit contains basic toiletry and first-aid items, including a hand towel, a washcloth, a wide-tooth comb, a bottle of shampoo, a toothbrush, a tube of toothpaste, a bar of soap, 10 bandages, and two 1-gallon zipper-seal bags to hold the kit together. Volunteers assemble the care kits to send to disaster survivors around the world. FedEx and the companies who produce the products underwrite the costs of shipping and supplying the hygiene kits. Each additional $10 raised will fund another care kit.
