School Landupitiya Vidyalaya (Central Province)
Project Description
Landupitiya Vidyalaya is a rural school located atop a mountain where the students and staff face constant water scarcity, especially during the dry season. Villagers in the area are poor, with many parents working as daily laborers in vegetable farms, tea estates, and rice fields. The school’s pipeline system was in disrepair, requiring constant fixes from students, and the toilet facilities were inadequate. The dry season, lasting from February to April and September to November, created significant challenges for securing water for drinking, sanitation, and teachers’ quarters. During these periods, students and staff were forced to walk about 1 kilometer to access water from a source well.
Location
The school is situated in Landupitiya village, far from Padiyapelella town in the Nuwara Eliya District of Central Province, Sri Lanka.
