Lack of accessible, safe public toilet infrastructure disproportionately affects women posing health hazards while limiting mobility/productivity. As an administrator intent on enabling equal access to civic services, Hari Chandana spearheaded sustainable “She Loo” sanitation solutions designed for the needs of women.

Bridging the Sanitation Gap

During municipal leadership, Hari Chandana confronted the sheer absence of secure, hygienic restroom facilities for women across Hyderabad. Defying conventions, she envisioned modular “She Loo” complexes integrating financial viability through a revenue model for maintenance. #Accessibility #BreakingBarriers

Co-creating Design Fixes with Women

Hari Chandana engaged directly with women groups across neighborhoods to understand pain points when accessing public restrooms. Safety and infra provisions for managing feminine hygiene requirements got translated into design fixes across She Loos customized for women/children/disabled groups. #SocialImpactAward #DesignCentric #UserFocused

Economic Empowerment of Care Workers

Hari Chandana tapped marginalized women self-help groups for She Loo operations- enabling livelihood opportunities while delivering essential public services. The model embedded their financial upliftment with dignified access for all users based on co-ownership. #InclusiveCities #SharedValue

650 Units and Counting

The successful adoption of She Loos on self-sustaining basis has seen over 650 such facilities implemented across Hyderabad until now. Hari Chandana proved viability of contexts where private interests align wholly with public welfare – improving ease of living for women at scale. #BritishCouncil #ScaledImpact

Her unique ability to re-engineer administrative systems centering public welfare has been the key driver enabling sustainable access. #GovernanceInnovation #UrbanReforms
