Upplawatta Vidyalaya (North Western Province)
Project Description
Upplawatta Vidyalaya is a rural and underprivileged school serving 234 children from Grade 1 to 11 (111 male, 123 female) and 20 teachers (2 male, 18 female) from low-income families. In addition, 70 families from the nearby village (around 280 community members) benefit from the newly established water and sanitation facilities. The school is located in Upplawatta village, far from Anamaduwa town in the Anamaduwa Divisional Secretariat of Puttalam District, North Western Province. Most parents work as farmers or daily wage laborers, facing ongoing hardships in ensuring clean water and sanitation for their children.
Location
Upplawatta Village, Anamaduwa Divisional Secretariat, Puttalam District, North Western Province, Sri Lanka.
Reason to choose this project
The school previously lacked a proper water connection and functioning latrine system, creating major hygiene and sanitation challenges for both students and the surrounding community. The project aimed to establish sustainable, safe, and accessible water and sanitation facilities to improve health and learning conditions.
Activities We Have Done
Constructed a new 15-foot-deep tubewell in a nearby lake using 3×2 concrete rings, with the interior filled with chip stones for structural security.
Installed a 150-meter-long 1-inch PVC pipeline system from the well to the school, with 2-foot-deep trenches; concreted the section crossing the road for protection.
Installed a solar panel system on a 13-foot-high iron stand to power the water supply sustainably.
Renovated all existing latrines and urinals in the school, installing new taps and tap lines.
Constructed 1 new urinal and repaired broken areas with concrete, then painted for hygiene improvement.
Renovated 2 existing handwashing units by installing new taps and pipelines, and painted all units.
Installed 3 new tap posts in accessible locations.
Rearranged and repainted all existing school water tanks.
Painted all pipelines connected to the water system for protection and improved appearance.
Community Contribution
Parents and community members contributed by assisting with site cleaning, digging trenches for pipelines, and providing unskilled labour.
