Project Description

Karandi Puwal Maha Vidyalaya is a rural, economically disadvantaged school with 325 students from grades 1 to 11 and 18 teachers. The school is located in Samagipura village in the North Western Province of Sri Lanka, far from the main Puttlam town area. The community is extremely poor, with most parents working as daily laborers in brick factories, coconut estates, and Chena or rice farms in the Wanathavilluwa area. There are no government employees residing in the village. For many years, the school suffered from inadequate sanitation facilities, lacking proper toilets and latrines for the students and staff.
