Sanitation and Clean Water for 60 Dalit Families

**Promoting Sanitation for a Healthier Community:**
At Nandri, we believe that proper sanitation facilities are essential for promoting the health and well-being of Dalit people in our society. Having access to toilets and latrines allows individuals to dispose of waste appropriately, preventing contamination of their environment and reducing health risks for themselves and their neighbors. Unfortunately, many people in our area still lack access to these facilities, leading to improper waste disposal and potential risks.

**Empowering Dalit Families with Toilets:**
We take pride in supporting 65 Dalit families from various villages in building toilets. Recently, we extended our support to a mother from Maiyanur village in Thiruvannamalai District, helping her build a toilet and providing water facilities for it. Ensuring access to proper sanitation is a vital step towards enhancing their dignity and well-being.

**Comprehensive Support for Dalits in Tamil Nadu:**
Nandri is committed to empowering every Dalit in Tamil Nadu to live with dignity, just like any other human being. To achieve this goal, we provide comprehensive support and education on various crucial aspects:

- **Water Availability:** We build water tanks in villages to cater to essential needs like kitchen use, toilets, agriculture fields, and more.
- **Drinking Water:** Nandri donates water purifier machines to nearby schools and hostels, ensuring safe drinking water for the community.
- **Sanitation:** With our efforts, we have constructed 65 toilets, educating individuals about proper toilet use, privacy, cleanliness, and menstrual hygiene management for girls.
- **Hygiene:** Regular handwashing is emphasized and encouraged among the Dalit community to maintain good hygiene practices.
- **Waste Management:** We educate about waste disposal, emphasizing the presence and importance of waste disposal bins for a cleaner environment.
- **Cleanliness:** Nandri actively teaches the importance of keeping homes and surroundings clean, promoting a healthier living space for everyone.

**Statistics on Toilet Access in Tamil Nadu:**
According to recent data, approximately 32% of homes in Tamil Nadu lack access to proper sanitation facilities, such as toilets and latrines. Nandri's efforts play a crucial role in bridging this gap and ensuring a healthier and more hygienic environment for Dalit families and the broader community. However, there is still work to be done to improve access to sanitation across the region. Together, we can make a positive difference and create a brighter future for all.

With your financial support we can continue to change the lives of our Nandri families.
