Evidence suggests that high-quality infrastructure improves student learning outcomes which reduces dropout rates and improves academic performance. Some of the infrastructure related setbacks we’ve found in schools: • Asbestos roofs which are known to be carcinogenic • Broken roofs which do not provide adequate shelter from the rains • Lack of sewage connectivity. Among the schools that do have it, it is frequently choked as a result of which the toilets cannot be used • Load bearing structures lacking a strong foundation • Poor sanitation facilities for female students • Small classroom sizes, on average less than 250 square feet We help our schools to perform structural audits. By providing donatinos to upgrade existing infrastructure, we encourage partner schools to improve their aging facilities. Unsafe school buildings, inadequate sanitation facilities, water supply issues and broken toilet doors are issues we address. We encourage partner schools to appoint a Project Management Consultancy (PMC), as most schools do not have architectural plans available with them. Over a period of four years, Nirmaan improved on the infrastructure of 18 partner schools which affected over 21,000 beneficiaries. This intervention has also provided furniture and electrical fixtures to 45 schools. We replaced asbestos roofs, which are detrimental to health, with light-weight, energy efficient and durable PUF (Polyurethane foam insulation) panels.
