What's Happening?
Bridge to Basics, an organization led by Katie Thibodeau and Rana Khoury, is working to provide access to basic hygiene products for those in need. The initiative aims to address the gap in availability
of essential health products for underserved communities. By connecting individuals with necessary items such as soap, toothpaste, and other hygiene essentials, Bridge to Basics seeks to improve the quality of life for many who struggle to afford these basic necessities. The organization highlights the ongoing issue of hygiene poverty and its impact on health and dignity.
Why It's Important?
Access to hygiene products is a fundamental aspect of maintaining health and dignity, yet many individuals in the U.S. face challenges in obtaining these essentials. Bridge to Basics' efforts to provide hygiene products address a critical need that affects public health and social equity. By ensuring that more people have access to these products, the organization helps to prevent health issues related to poor hygiene and supports the well-being of vulnerable populations. This initiative also raises awareness about hygiene poverty, encouraging broader societal and policy discussions on how to address this issue effectively.
