Areas of Renovation
Of the schools chosen, different schools had different issues that the Rotary had to contend with. While some lacked a proper building, there were some that lacked proper sanitation facilities. There were some without any furniture and some others without proper facilities for a noon meal kitchen. The areas of renovation for each school were broadly categorized under the following heads: |
