While urban schools often take sanitation for granted, thousands of girls in rural India drop out simply because there’s no toilet to use. The lack of safe, separate, and functional toilets directly affects attendance, safety, and dignity. Vakuladevi Foundation has taken this issue seriously, making it a core part of its education outreach efforts.
By constructing girls’ toilets in government schools and distributing sanitary pads, the foundation addresses not just health, but also confidence and participation. These interventions are planned in collaboration with school authorities and tailored to the needs of each local setting. It’s about more than infrastructure—it’s about access and comfort.
Such efforts help young girls stay in school without fear or discomfort. Education continues uninterrupted, and the message becomes clear: their needs matter, and their learning should never be put on pause.
- Toilets Built: Secure, well-ventilated toilets constructed in rural schools.
- Pads Distributed: Sanitary kits provided monthly to promote safe hygiene.
- Confidence Restored: Girls feel comfortable and valued in their learning space.
Simple steps like these send a powerful message—that education should never be compromised by avoidable barriers. With every facility built, Vakuladevi Foundation ensures one less reason for girls to leave school behind.
