Mahalakshmi was unavailable at her location and hence had to be interviewed by phone. Mahalakshmi used the loan to build a toilet at her household. Her husband is a farmer and Mahalakshmi is a daily wage earner. For many ages, open defecation had been an unhealthy practice in this district. Schools here began educating people about the importance of hygienic sanitation. Mahalakshmi got to know about the importance of sanitation through her friend's daughter. She was looking for means to collect fund in order to have a toilet in her household.She heard about Guardian, Milaap's field partner through another member of this group. Now there is a hygienic environment at her house and Mahalakshmi is grateful to the lenders worldwide.
