1 in 3 children drop out before elementary school because they don’t have a secure space to study or access to sanitation facilities. Building homes, and equipping schools with sanitation units help children continue their education.
The lack of decent sanitation facilities mean that women have to defecate in the open. They go early in the morning or wait till nightfall, in fear of being seen. Installing units allows them easy access and makes them feel safer.
Open defecation leads to the spread of illnesses and higher mortality rates. Driving usage of these sanitation facilities helps build healthy and hygienic communities.
We conduct detailed assessments of the community and its members to better understand their needs. This helps us build homes that match their lifestyle and needs.
A home is foundational to the safety and wellbeing of a family. It changes everything. Our goal is to build strength, stability and self-reliance in families across India through shelter and sanitation. These stories highlight experiences of some of the families we have engaged with.
