School, Dungalpitiya Kanishta Vidyalaya (Western Province)
Project Description
Dungalpitiya Kanishta Vidyalaya is a poor school serving children from fishing families, many of whom are from Catholic and Tamil-speaking communities. The parents of these children work as fishermen in the ocean or lagoon, while some work as daily laborers.
Due to the area’s salty groundwater, the school depended on a road pipeline connection but had only a single tap point for the entire school. This led to severe sanitation challenges that had persisted for many years. The fishing community, reliant on daily income, lacked the financial means to solve these issues.
Location
The school is situated in Dungalpitiya fishing village, near Pamunugama town in the Gampaha District of the Western Province, Sri Lanka.
