Introduction:
Tibetan Nehru Memorial Foundation School:
Tibetan Nehru Memorial Foundation School is situated in the Tibetan Colony at Clement Town, Dehra Dun, (UK). The school was established around in 1965 with the aim of helping Tibetan refugee children in this colony to get a modern education in a conducive Tibetan environment. Today it is a senior secondary school affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi. This School is administrated by Tibetan Nehru Memorial Foundation under the leadership of Ven.DG Khochhen Rinpoche.
Children from the Tibetan settlement here plus those neighboring Indian community attend this school. Currently we have about 170 students. Compared to other Tibetan schools in exile, this school has very limited resources for developmental projects.
Problem statement: Why the project is needed/important for the school?
At present, our toilets do not meet the required sanitation standards. To begin with, we don’t have a proper flushing system. The children have to fetch water from an outside source and manually try to flush the toilets after use. The lack of an efficient flushing system results in bad smell in the whole toilet area. This outdated and unsatisfactory system is inviting disease and impacts the health of the children.
The existing plumbing is badly outdated in need of repairs. Water pipelines leak at multiple places, most of the existing taps are no longer working, toilet doors don’t close properly, windows are broken and the plastering of walls of are peeling away. There is dampness, mold and mildew. The present complex was built in 2002 and because of lack of funds, no major repairs have been undertaken since then. Today there is an urgent need to remodel and repair this toilet complex that serves over 170 students plus staff.
Objectives
Total remodeling of the toilet complex with modern facilities including proper ventilation, having separate toilets for girls, boys and staff, separate urinal cisterns, had washing areas, tiled flooring of toilets and bathrooms. All this will ensure good sanitation and improved health of children and staff of this school.
