Dear Supporters,
In our last report, we told you the reasons why St Louis School was in desperate need of a new block of toilets. Today we are happy to bring you news that the toilet block has been completed, inaugurated and being used on a daily basis!
The toilet block serves 100 students and several teachers and it has made a huge difference in all of their lives, it will also positively impact the future of the school.
The new structure has been built to an extremely high standard and in such a way that the previous issues of flooding during monsoon and subsistence are extremely unlikely. The whole structure has been built at a high level above ground on substantial foundations and the cess tanks are incorporated into the solid foundations also above ground to avoid flooding or collapse. The previous structures have been demolished and broken up to be used to raise the ground level of the pathway to the toilets.
The toilets allow for a greater intake of pupils over the coming years, as well as for admission of disabled pupils as a ramp has been built to access part of the toilet block.
The health and safety of the staff and pupils at St. Louis School has been tremendously improved due to the building of the toilets, and all involved are immensely grateful.
Thank you so much to each and every donor to this project for helping to make this possible. A huge thank you to our main donor, The Anna Crossman Trust- this would not have been possible without you.
With Gratitude,
GVI India
