Impact

We measure what we do.

Because what we can prove, we can improve — and what we can prove, funders can trust. Our impact rests on three pillars.

The three pillars

What we stand on

Our measurement instrument

The School Dignity Index

We score every school across six dimensions of a dignified, working toilet — before we begin and after we hand over — so the change is visible, not just claimed.

Before2/6After6/6Illustrative scale only — not a real school’s score.

What we score, and why

  1. Functionality

    Toilet usable, pan/commode intact, flush/pour-flush works, plumbing works, no major blockage/leak

    Why it matters

    The first question is simply: can a child actually use it?
  2. Water & Handwashing

    Reliable water at toilet, storage/tank where needed, working taps, handwashing point, soap availability

    Why it matters

    A toilet without water isn't genuinely functional.
  3. Cleanliness & Hygiene

    Floor/pan cleanliness, smell, waste, drainage, cleaning supplies and evidence of regular cleaning

    Why it matters

    Separates a technically functional toilet from one children are actually comfortable using.
  4. Privacy, Safety & Dignity

    Door, working internal latch, adequate enclosure, lighting, ventilation, safe access and no unacceptable exposure

    Why it matters

    Particularly important for adolescent girls and central to Go Clean's mission.
  5. Menstrual Hygiene Readiness

    Private changing environment, water within/near cubicle, disposal bin with lid, safe disposal arrangement

    Why it matters

    Makes the Index explicitly recognise the needs that can cause adolescent girls to avoid school.
  6. Maintenance & Sustainability

    Responsible person/SMC (School Management Committee) identified, cleaning routine, supplies/budget arrangement, minor-repair mechanism, condition sustained at follow-up

    Why it matters

    Measures whether Go Clean's intervention is likely to stay working rather than deteriorate again.

The numbers

Where we stand today

Restore a toilet. Restore dignity.

Every part counts — from a tap to a whole school.
