Boorowa student’s idea to help the homeless

A group of students from Boorowa Central School took a project idea from a Year 9 class and have made it a reality by creating something that will help locals in need.

Mylee, Lila, Finlay and Delilah took an idea they had as a class project and have made it into a reality in a way that is friendly not only to the environment but will help those who need it.

"It started in class and it's built from there," Mylee said.

The idea is to create eco-friendly hygiene bags for the homeless.

"You create as eco-friendly as possible hygiene packs for homeless people or anyone in need," Finlay said.

Each of the bags includes a toothbrush, toothpaste, sunscreen, soap, deodorant and other hygiene products.

"We've got a men's pack, a women's pack and a children's pack," Delilah said.

"So they all cater for each gender and age group."

The original project involved creating a business, either a for-profit or a non-profit.

"We had to create our own business and then pitch it to people who came to see our pitch," Mylee said.
