The goal of our “Girls Glory” project is to see the above saying come true in every Government school in Bangalore, Karnataka. Our tailor-made programs and sensitization workshops aim towards achieving this goal. We are not only bringing the awareness, but our project also includes providing the facilities to bring the community change among the underprivileged.
WASH awareness program was conducted in 3 schools for 1837 students. The beneficiaries were oriented on importance of maintaining cleanliness in Restrooms, hygienic use of toilets, role of personal hygiene to reduce incidence of water borne diseases. Sensitization covered the following components:

We have initiated the renovation and construction of Restrooms in the schools, as per UNICEF usage norms of 1:35 (1 Toilet for 35 children). After choosing the best location in consultation with the school management, we have assigned the contractor through ‘Work Orders’ with detailed specifications with quality check, monitoring and payment norms. Progress was monitored jointly by the school management and Reaching Hand Team. In total 4 toilets construction have began in July.
