School Rideevihara Maha Vidyalaya
Project Description
School Rideevihara Maha Vidyalaya is a rural school serving students from economically disadvantaged families. The parents of these children work in low-income jobs such as daily laborers in coconut estates, rice fields, or in a local garment factory. The school faced serious water issues due to an outdated and broken pipeline system, which caused leaks and made it difficult to provide water to the toilets and handwashing units. These challenges particularly impacted female students, creating significant difficulties in maintaining hygiene.
Location
The school is situated in Rabukandana village, far from Ridigama town in the North Western Province, Sri Lanka.
Reason to choose this project
The school serves a very poor, isolated community where children face significant challenges due to a lack of basic water and sanitation facilities. These schools often receive little attention due to their small size, but without essential improvements, the students’ education is compromised, and the school risks closure. If the school shuts down, these children, unable to access alternative education, face deepened poverty.
Activities We Have Done
- Reconstructed the existing tube well and pump house electrical panel board.
- Supplied electrical cables and constructed a low concrete water stand.
- Reconstructed the existing water tower with handrails and a ladder.
- Supplied and installed two 1000L water tanks.
- Replaced the entire school’s pipeline system with a new one (380 meters long).
- Reconstructed four existing handwashing units, each with six taps, and built seven new tap posts.
- Constructed a rainwater harvesting unit with a 10,000L water tank on a low concrete stand.
- Painted all newly constructed facilities.
Community Contribution
Parents and teachers actively contributed by helping transport materials from the school gate to the construction sites and assisting with the painting of new facilities.
