Newsletter May 2024
In this update, we celebrate recent achievements and initiatives by Smile, highlighting transformative projects in education, community engagement, and infrastructure improvements that are making a significant impact in the lives of students and families.
Clean Spaces, Bright Minds
The ATCHYA WASH project for Mamandur and Vembakkam schools, launched on April 24, 2024, is set to revolutionize the schools’ infrastructure! With brand-new toilet complexes, a sump, an overhead tank, and reliable drinking water systems, this project is nearly complete and will be ready by June 2024. Smile is excited to hand over these much-needed upgrades once the schools reopen after the summer break, marking a transformative leap in Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) standards that will greatly improve the students’ learning environment and health.
