Project Description

Thoranakada Dharmaraja Vidyalaya is a rural school located in Ahaliyagoda, Rathnapura District, in Sri Lanka’s Sabaragamuwa Province. The school serves children from families of tea estate workers and daily wage labourers who face severe economic hardships. Lack of a safe and reliable water system had been a long-standing issue, directly impacting the health, hygiene, and overall learning environment of the students. Ensuring improved access to water and sanitation facilities was critical to safeguarding student well-being and enabling uninterrupted education.

Location

The school is situated in Ahaliyagoda, Rathnapura District, Sabaragamuwa Province.

Reason to choose this project
  • The majority of parents are tea estate workers and daily wage labourers with limited resources.

  • The school lacked a safe and reliable water system, severely affecting students’ health and hygiene.

  • Intervention was necessary to ensure proper sanitation and uninterrupted education.

Activities We Have Done
  • Cleaned the main water source and constructed a protective concrete structure for sustainability.

  • Built a low concrete base, repositioned and secured the tank, painted it, and installed two 500L water tanks.

  • Reconstructed the entire school pipeline system with 85m of PVC pipes laid with proper trenching.

  • Extended the system with an additional 180m of pipeline to ensure full water distribution across the school.
