About the Project: A.V.V. high school is located in S.V.N. Road, Warangal district which
is around 160 kms from our CIQ Hyderabad office. It is a government aided
school running under state government of Telangana. This is a school started in
1944 by Acharya Sri Chandha Kanthayya Sresti, A great philanthropist in the
Telangana region. This was a first Telugu medium school in north Telangana
region, which is providing free education for the poor and under privileged
community from decades. Toilets in this school in a very bad position now,
especially girl students are facing many problems with damaged wash rooms, they
are about to abandoned. If we renovate those wash rooms, it will very much
useful to the girls studying in the school.

Date & Time: 14th Dec, 2015 from 11am to 4pm
Number of Volunteers: 3
Highlights:

for procuring materials and expenses for the project
2. Renovated girls’ wash
rooms.
3. Distributed Sports
Material.
4. Interaction session with
the students.

Impact:
Lack of
toilets, especially separate girls toilets are a big problem in Indian
government schools. This is leading for a significant number of drop outs from
government schools. Even government of India is also taking this as a serious
issue. Now as we provided a beautiful wash room for girl students in this
school, it will definitely lead to reduce the girl student drop outs and may
attract those who dropped their education in middle due to this problem
