The school in Marocha, India, has over 150 children, and continues to grow. But this growth is not without its challenges, and recently the 20 year old restroom building became unusable. “The walls are breaking, the earth is sinking. It cannot be just repaired, but has to be demolished completely,” India Director Raja shared earlier this year. The school needs “a completely new construction for the toilets for the children. This is a [necessary] requirement because we have over 150 children and they don’t have toilets.”

After providing two buses for the school last year, Big Joy Foundation agreed to provide a second grant to ServLife International to rebuild the restroom building. In a matter of months, the old building was demolished and a new restroom building was constructed.

“It is so nice, and it is so beautiful now and children are especially very happy to use this facility over here,” Raja shares. “We teach our children how to be clean and physically fit. So for that reason we also provide them monthly hygiene materials like tooth brush, tooth paste, soap, and other necessary things. So we are glad that we have a nice and clean and hygienic restroom.” The new restroom building has improved daily life for the students and staff.

“Now all the children, they can use the hygiene and clean lifestyle.”
