Gatsby Global Hygiene Initiative

Global Impact
Around the world, millions of families live without consistent access to basic personal hygiene products — items as simple as tissue, soap, wipes, and sanitary care. These everyday essentials play a critical role in health, education, safety, and dignity. Yet in developing regions across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, and underserved communities here in the United States, they remain out of reach for far too many.

Because dignity begins with essentials.

The Global Reality

2.3 billion people lack access to basic sanitation services
— UNICEF/WHO Joint Monitoring Programme

500 million women and girls do not have consistent access to essential menstrual hygiene products
— UNFPA / UNESCO

800 million children attend school each day without adequate hygiene supplies
— UNICEF Child Deprivation Index

40% of health facilities in developing nations lack basic hygiene materials
— WHO Global Health Observatory

These numbers represent more than statistics.
They represent lives, families, and futures.

What We’ve Seen

Through our community outreach work in the United States and internationally, The Gatsby Showcase Foundation has witnessed firsthand the impact of limited access to basic personal care items. We have seen:

  • children embarrassed to attend school
  • women forced to improvise unsafe alternatives
  • communities unable to maintain basic hygiene
  • families struggling with preventable health issues

We believe that simple essentials can transform lives — restoring dignity, protecting health, and strengthening communities.

Our Mission

The Gatsby Global Hygiene Initiative is our commitment to advancing dignity and health equity around the world. Through this initiative, we work to:

  • Provide essential hygiene products to underserved communities
  • Partner with global agencies, diplomats, and grassroots organizations
  • Deliver resources through local schools, clinics, shelters, and community centers
  • Promote health education and hygiene awareness
  • Support sustainable, community-led distribution efforts

This work aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly:
SDG 3 (Good Health), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 6 (Clean Water & Sanitation), and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities).

Our Partnership with L&B Tissues

To support this mission, we have partnered with L&B Tissues, a purpose-driven brand created to help expand global access to essential personal hygiene products.
A portion of product proceeds supports Gatsby programs, and L&B Tissues actively contributes to community donations and global supply initiatives.

Join the Movement

We invite diplomatic partners, global organizations, corporations, and compassionate individuals to join us in expanding access to essential hygiene care worldwide.
