FAQ

Questions, answered.

If what you need isn't here, write to us — we answer everything that comes in.

What does Go Clean Foundation do?

We restore working toilets in government schools — and make sure they keep working — so children, especially adolescent girls, don't drop out over a broken toilet.

Where do you work?

We're based in Hyderabad, Telangana, and focus on government schools in the region to begin with.

How is my donation used?

Your gift funds the restoration directly — fixtures, plumbing, water, privacy — and the community ownership that keeps it working. We report on how it's used.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Not yet. Our application for 80G registration has been made but not yet granted, so we cannot offer tax exemption on donations at this time.

We will say so here the moment that changes. We won't claim a benefit we can't provide.

How do you choose which schools to help?

Every nominated school is assessed and scored on need and readiness, so the schools that need us most — and where we can succeed — come first.

How do you make sure the toilets keep working?

This is the heart of what we do. Every restoration includes community ownership through the School Management Committee (SMC), a maintenance commitment, and an annual return visit — and we measure the result.

How do you measure impact?

Through our School Dignity Index — six dimensions, scored before and after each restoration.

Can I volunteer?

Yes. We welcome students and professionals for site work, documentation, social media and outreach. Write to us to start.

Can my company partner with Go Clean (CSR)?

Yes — we work with CSR teams to fund clusters of schools.

CSR funding requires our CSR-1 registration, which has been applied for but not yet granted.

Write to vijay@go-clean.org to start the conversation.

Can I nominate a school?

Please do. If you know a government school with a broken toilet, tell us — it could be the next one we restore.

Are you a registered organisation?

Yes — Go Clean Foundation is a registered Section 8 (non-profit) company, based in Hyderabad, Telangana.
