A small contribution can go a long way:
- $15 buys a hygiene and cleaning supplies kit. This includes 4 soap bars, 4 toothbrushes, 1 toothpaste, 2 bottles of shampoo, 2 boxes of laundry detergent, 2 brooms, 2 pairs of latex gloves, 2 liters antibacterial cleaner, and 1 liter bleach.
- $50 buys either drinking water for 12 families for 2 to 3 days (32 gallons or 120 liters), or basic school supplies for 5 children to go back to school.
- $100 buys either a twin size mattress or a Basket of Basics: a set of products that an average family of four persons (two adults and two children) usually needs for an entire month.
- $200 buys a full size mattress.
