Personal Care IPPIs

Read what an IPPI activity facilitator said about one of our Personal Care IPPIs:

“The nail polish IPPI is SO GOOD we use it a ton! It really jazzes up an activity that’s already very present in a lot of our places so it’s a great thing to build on what people are already doing.”
