Introduction
Approximately 2.4 billion people globally live under unsanitary conditions and have poor hygiene behaviours, highly exposing them to risk of incidence and spread of infectious diseases. Hygienic and health problems are some of the concerns that many people face, particularly those who live in underdeveloped countries. High rates of poverty and lack of resources prevents people from obtaining the proper health care and sanitation they need. As a result, diseases and physical ailments are developed, affecting their ways of life. In the Other 90 Percent website, it stated that more than twelve thousand children die daily due to health and hygienic problems. Thus, new ways of improving these conditions can reduce the number of health problems for those who are underprivileged. Clothing is a basic necessity that is needed to protect our body from the external environment. Nonetheless, the cleanliness and quality of clothes contributes to numerous benefits to our health, such as decreasing the number of bacterial infections.

Most of the products today are designed mainly for the benefit of wealthy individuals, which consequently neglects the needs of the poor. Not everyone can afford basic necessities as simple as clothing. Thus, Simply Clothing's aim is to specialize in creating a new line of clothing embedded with Silver Nanoparticles in the fabrics at an affordable price. These Nano-silver particles will help decrease the number infections caused by the unclean environment and lead to good personal hygiene.
