Project : Let Children Play Safe & Stay Healthy
Impact : Enable Children to play safely in Government school playgrounds in India during recess and enable hygiene restrooms
Team Members: Ishaan Mandala, Abhinav Gorrepati, Abhinav Gankidi, Arnav Bajjuri, Ashvik Bajjuri
At Chirag San Jose, we believe creating safe and fun playgrounds is vital for kids’ development. We raised $3000 funds to renovate “Indirama Government School” in Somidi village, Telangana, India (which includes playground leveling, bathroom renovation, wall painting, gate/door painting, structural fixes, and water supply) and helped in renovating the school into a safe place for children to play.

At Chirag San Jose Chapter, we’ve learned is that creating a clean/sanitary learning environment is something that many government schools located throughout various parts of India often struggle with. We have undertaken our next project in renovating “Rudramamba Primary School” into a safe place for children to play and study while ensuring proper hygiene is maintained. The goal of this project is $4000 and currently we are collecting the funds for this project
