An all-girls school in Uttarakhand, India, that serves 650 underprivileged girls ages 5 to 18, has long been in in need of critical structural and aesthetic building repairs and renovations. Crumbling walls, broken and missing windows, moldy classrooms, inoperative fans, and an entire building, inside and out, in desperate need of fresh paint. The school was an unsafe and unhealthy environment for the girls, and unsatisfactory as a place for learning.
Yours Humanly India adopted this school and with the support and donations of many generous people, our Yours Humanly India champions got to work. Employing local professional labor, we repaired and painted exterior walls and doors, repaired window frames and installed new glass, repaired the electrical system and got the fans working, and deep cleaned and painted the entire interior. The first phase of our project is complete and what a difference! The school has a new look and feel, creating a healthier and more pleasing environment for the girls as they continue their educational journey. Watch the video of Phase 1 of the project.
The second phase includes building a computer lab at the school and providing computer education to these precious girls and the hundreds more who will follow. This important facilities and technology project is made possible through our Bridging Gaps Initiative, which serves to bridge the gaps between need and available resources.
