Imbulpitiya Kanishta Vidyalaya and Community (Central Province)
Project Description
Imbulpitiya Kanishta Vidyalaya is a rural school serving a diverse group of Sinhala, Tamil, and Muslim students from low-income families. The school, located in a remote and isolated area in the Central Province, faces severe water scarcity, particularly during the dry season. During these months, all local wells dry up, leaving the school and surrounding community without water for drinking, sanitation, or cleaning purposes. The school is spread across five elevated land levels, which further complicates water distribution. Both the school and village community have long struggled with accessing basic water facilities, especially for sanitation.
Most parents work in nearby tea estates or earn a living through daily wage labor, making it difficult for them to afford infrastructure improvements on their own.
Location
Imbulpitiya Village, Central Province, Sri Lanka.
Reason to choose this project
The severe water shortage during dry seasons has affected students’ health and hygiene, disrupted learning, and created a major burden on the community. The school’s challenging topography and lack of infrastructure made it a high-priority location for intervention.
Activities We Have Done
Constructed a new source well by building a 15-foot-long dam and 18-foot-long riverbank protection walls on both sides to retain water.
Built a stone wall to protect the well during the rainy season.
Constructed a filter wall to improve water quality.
Built a low concrete water stand to hold two water tanks.
Supplied one 2000L water stock tank and one 1000L water tank for school use.
Installed a complete pipeline system from the source well to the school and throughout the school premises.
Constructed one handwashing unit (with four taps).
Built two additional tap points for school use.
Extended water supply connections to 60 nearby families.
Painted all water-related construction structures.
Community Contribution
Parents and villagers played an active role by transporting materials from the school gate to construction sites, digging trenches, installing pipelines, and assisting with painting and other labor work.
