The project deals with the construction of toilets in select schools in rural/urban area. The schools chosen are the ones where there are no toilets or the toilets are not in usable condition due to various reasons. In the first phase the construction work at 2 schools in near Sira (Tumakuru district in Karnataka) was taken up. The construction work also includes the sanitation connections that provided along with the water facilities to these toilets. The pilot project in 2 schools has been completed and was inaugurated for use on Jan 23rd,2016. A group of 80 Dell employees travelled to these schools to see the construction and also interact with the school management. Dell volunteers expressed satisfaction with the project; school management expressed their gratitude to Dell and HSP for the noble cause.
The schools were closed during summer vacation and also there was scarcity of water in these places. The next phase of the project with more number of schools are being planned. Discussions with different contractors/vendors are in progress. The project kick-off is expected very soon.

Facilities for sanitation and hygiene in schools can go a long way in creating improved learning environments, thereby facilitating increased attendance and retention of students This is especially true among girl students, especially in higher classes, since their special needs including privacy are catered to. Children also act as driving forces in spreading these best practices into their homes and communities. The overall long term impact of improved water and sanitation facilities in schools are thus phenomenal.
In view of the same, our team carried out a survey of 10 schools near Shira in Karnataka in July-Aug 2015, and identified their sanitation needs.
