The Makati City government is giving away hygiene and better healthcare kits, along with vacuum-insulated flasks, to public school students in the city.
A total of 32,874 health kits and vacuum-insulated flasks were being distributed to students across all grade levels, from kindergarten to senior high school, including those in the Special Education (SPED) program.
Each kit contains a mosquito patch, two bars of soap, two towels, two toothbrushes, toothpaste, a bottle of alcohol, hand sanitizer, a cooling patch, povidone throat spray, and a mini fan.
“These kits will help students maintain good hygiene and stay protected against common illnesses, especially as the school year begins and the rainy season approaches,” said Mayor Abigail Binay who led the ceremonial distribution at Makati High School last Tuesday.
In addition to the kits, students will receive a vacuum-insulated flask for water or juice, promoting hydration throughout the day.
Mayor Binay emphasized the importance of student well-being for academic success. “We want our students to stay healthy, safe, and ready to learn. These simple yet essential items can significantly help our learners focus in school without worrying about their basic needs.”
She said the city’s education and healthcare initiatives reflected Makati’s strong commitment to the well-being of its students.
As part of Project FREE (Free Relevant and Excellent Education), these new provisions aim to promote clean, safe, and supportive learning environments, ensuring that every Makatizen learner remains healthy, protected, and prepared to succeed in school.
