Marking the World

hygine at the right age. As part of its Corporate
Social Responsibility program, J.K. Fenner (India) Ltd had allocated INR
30lakhs for FY 2014-15 to construct toilets for girls in 12 government run
schools in Sriperumbudur, Madurai and Hyderabad. The overall objective of the project is to
provide sustainable sanitation solution / services to the select government run
schools.
India faces a massive
problem of open defecation, and this is mostly prevalent among the children who
are already most vulnerable and marginalized. These children pay the highest price with
respect to their survival and development.
Absence of proper sanitation results in people suffering from various
contagious and water borne diseases leading to high incidences of morbidity and
mortality. Girls are the most affected
and lack of proper and appropriate sanitation results in high rates of school
dropouts.
Speaking at the
dedication ceremony, Shri. Nagaraju Srirama, President and Director, J.
K. Fenner (India) Ltd, said “Education is the fundamental right of every child,
we at JK Fenner are privileged to be part of furthering the cause of education
especially among girl children. JK
Fenner is committed to such social upliftment initiatives. It is our endeavour to support the development
of areas where our plants are situated.
We hope this small step of toilets for girls in government run schools in
this area goes a long way in the overall development of the area”. He also added, that “JK Fenner has also been
supporting the cause of education through its ‘Single Teacher’ schools”.
