Back to School Back Packs

Mission Australia Inala to Ipswich

"I just wanted to send a huge thank you for the back-to-school backpack my daughter, Maya*, received. Honestly, it's a massive help. Getting all the supplies at once is always a financial stressor this time of year, and the quality of the backpack and the supplies inside is fantastic. I was surprised by the products that are in the backpack, the headlice treatment will be so handy and helpful as we always seem to struggle with them. She was so excited about the new colored pencils! It truly makes a difference, and we really appreciate the community's support in making sure she starts the year ready to learn."

Tell us how and to whom you distributed the goods in your community

We strategically included the Head Lice Treatment Kits, or “Nit-Kits,” in the back-to-school backpacks as a proactive measure to address a common yet stressful annual problem. Recognizing that lice outbreaks frequently peak early in the school year, we ensured these kits were discreetly placed in the large exterior pocket of every backpack. This ensured every single student received the tools for detection and treatment automatically and privately, normalizing the necessary preparation and removing the financial barrier and social stigma associated with seeking out treatment only after an infestation had already begun.

Tell us how these goods helped your community, program or organisation

The proactive inclusion of the Head Lice Treatment Kits proved to be a powerful, multi-layered benefit for both the community and the backpack program itself. For the community, it immediately reduced stress and financial strain on parents by providing all necessary, effective tools for free, thus addressing a common public health issue equitably. By distributing the kits universally and discreetly, we successfully dismantled much of the social stigma surrounding head lice, encouraging faster detection and widespread simultaneous treatment, which is the key to breaking the cycle of re-infestation. For the backpack program, these kits elevated our reputation from simply providing school supplies to becoming a source of thoughtful, preventative community health support, deepening the trust and value the community places in our initiative far beyond the first day of school.
