Sita Rajaram Sanitary Block Project

The Problem

The Sita Rajaram Public School in Tamil Nadu India serves over 300 students (half of which are girls) in grades K-10. There are currently two toilet blocks in the school which are used by boys and girls. The existing toilet facilities’ are not sufficient for all of the students.

The Solution

Our grant will fund the construction of a new toilet block specifically for the girls at the school. Having a dedicate toilet facility will greatly improve overall sanitation and health risks.
