Story-1

A girl from 7th standard from a village called Noovli in Hubli, who studied in a Government school, attended my session and then wrote a letter to the Gramapanchayat PDO (Panchayat Development Officer), asking him to grant money to build a toilet in her house. She also convinced her parents, continuously followed up with the Panchayat, and finally got the amount sanctioned, after which a toilet was constructed in her house. She then shared this story in my session and 60 more girls got motivated and approached the PDO and their parents to build toilets in their homes.
