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
Dignity
The evidence
Nearly 1 in 4 girls miss school during their period.
Source: National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5)
What we track
Girls no longer missing school after restoration.
Impact
The evidence
Separate girls' toilets raise enrolment.

What we track
Change in daily attendance.
Sustainability
The evidence
98,592 schools have no functional toilet at all.

What we track
The percentage of our toilets still working at the return visit.
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.
What we score, and why
Functionality
Toilet usable, pan/commode intact, flush/pour-flush works, plumbing works, no major blockage/leakWhy it matters
The first question is simply: can a child actually use it?Water & Handwashing
Reliable water at toilet, storage/tank where needed, working taps, handwashing point, soap availabilityWhy it matters
A toilet without water isn't genuinely functional.Cleanliness & Hygiene
Floor/pan cleanliness, smell, waste, drainage, cleaning supplies and evidence of regular cleaningWhy it matters
Separates a technically functional toilet from one children are actually comfortable using.Privacy, Safety & Dignity
Door, working internal latch, adequate enclosure, lighting, ventilation, safe access and no unacceptable exposureWhy it matters
Particularly important for adolescent girls and central to Go Clean's mission.Menstrual Hygiene Readiness
Private changing environment, water within/near cubicle, disposal bin with lid, safe disposal arrangementWhy it matters
Makes the Index explicitly recognise the needs that can cause adolescent girls to avoid school.Maintenance & Sustainability
Responsible person/SMC (School Management Committee) identified, cleaning routine, supplies/budget arrangement, minor-repair mechanism, condition sustained at follow-upWhy it matters
Measures whether Go Clean's intervention is likely to stay working rather than deteriorate again.
