Project Description

Kurigngnampitiya Roman Catholic Sinhala Vidyalaya is located in Kalpitiya, under the Puttalam Zonal Education Office in Sri Lanka’s North Western Province. The school serves 425 students (220 boys and 205 girls) and is supported by 21 teachers (4 male, 17 female), most of whom come from lagoon-fishing and estate labour families. For many years, the school lacked access to safe drinking water, forcing students to carry small bottles of water from home. The school’s only well produced brackish water unsuitable for consumption, posing health risks and affecting students’ attendance, wellbeing, and learning environment.

Reason to choose this project

Kansarmen SL Foundation selected this project after identifying the severe difficulties faced by the school due to the lack of access to safe drinking water. Students and teachers were compelled to rely on brackish well water and to bring drinking water from home, creating health risks and daily hardship that affected attendance, wellbeing, and the learning environment. Recognizing Kansarmen SL Foundation’s technical expertise and long-standing experience in implementing sustainable water solutions in schools, World Vision Lanka selected Kansarmen SL Foundation as the implementing partner for this initiative and fully funded the Reverse Osmosis (RO) water purification project to ensure the provision of safe and purified drinking water for the entire school community.

Activities We Have Done
  • Implemented a Reverse Osmosis (RO) water purification system to provide safe and clean drinking water for all students and staff.

  • Installed the RO system within the school premises, ensuring convenient access and daily usability.

  • Connected the RO unit to the existing water supply infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted and efficient operation.

  • Conducted training and orientation sessions for school staff on the proper use, routine operation, and basic maintenance of the RO system.

  • Established a follow-up and monitoring mechanism to regularly obtain updates on the performance of the installed RO system and to support timely maintenance, ensuring long-term sustainability of the facility.
