After surveying and realizing that toilet rooms for students at Tan Bac Secondary school and Tan Bac People’s Committee did not ensure hygiene for students and officials, GNI decided to provide support for building a toilet room at Tan Bac Secondary school, which consists of 10 vaults (6 vaults for girl, 4 vaults for boy) and another toilet room in Tan Bac People’s Committee (1 vault for men, 1 vault for women).

Started in early October 2019, after 3 months, two works were completed with total building area of 80m2. Construction cost of clean toilets was VND 490 million (USD 21.236), totally was financed by GNI. By completing and handing over those works, GNI contributes to improving facilities for students and local people to use.
