Human Dignity and Essential Support: Personal Care Program by Promise Hill Project

The concept of human dignity is fundamental. It’s the inherent worth and respect deserved by every individual, regardless of their circumstances. However, for many struggling with poverty and limited resources, basic necessities like personal care items can be out of reach.

The lack of access to basic toiletries has given rise to what is now recognized as “hygiene poverty,” a stark reality that affects individuals across various age groups, particularly young adults aged 18-24.

The Shadow of Hygiene Poverty

Imagine not having access to soap, shampoo, or toothpaste. It’s a reality for millions worldwide. This lack of basic hygiene essentials has profound consequences, impacting physical and mental health, social interactions, and overall well-being.

• Health Risks: Inadequate hygiene can increase the risk of infections, skin diseases, and other health problems.
• Social Stigma: Feeling unclean can lead to social isolation and stigma, further marginalizing individuals.
• Mental and Emotional Toll: Shame and embarrassment associated with hygiene poverty can negatively impact mental health and self-esteem.

Understanding the Global Hygiene Crisis 

According to UNICEF, a staggering 2.2 billion people worldwide still lack access to safe drinking water, while over half of the global population does not have access to safe sanitation.

Three billion people do not have access to handwashing facilities with soap. The consequences of this hygiene crisis extend beyond physical health, impacting self-esteem, opportunities for success, and community bonds.

Promise Hill Project recognizes the gravity of the situation and our Personal Care Program is designed to combat hygiene poverty.
