Our work

One process, every school, every time.

From the moment a school is identified to long after the work is done. It's what makes our restorations last.

The journey

How we work

Five steps. The last one is the one most people skip.

  1. We find the schools.

    Through nominations and referrals from communities like yours.

  2. We assess and choose.

    Every school is scored on need and readiness, so the ones that need us most come first.

  3. We restore.

    Plumbing, fixtures, water, ventilation, privacy, handwashing — whatever it takes to make it work.

  4. We hand it over.

    To the school and its community, who commit to keeping it clean and cared for.

  5. We come back.

    We return, re-check, and re-score — because building a toilet is easy; keeping it working is the real work.

The difference

We make it last.

Across India, tens of thousands of school toilets were built and then left to break. Ours are different. Every project includes water assurance, community ownership through the School Management Committee (SMC), and an annual return visit. We don’t just build — we make sure it still works years later.

That commitment, and the evidence behind it, is what sets Go Clean apart.

Adopt a school.

From a light restoration to end-to-end transformation with multi-year care.
