Project Description

Nugedolawaththa is a resettled and underserved village located in the Kithanawatta GN Division under the Mirigama Divisional Secretariat in the Gampaha District, Western Province, Sri Lanka. The village consists of 15 vulnerable families and one rural school, with a total direct beneficiary population of 297 people.
Due to the complete absence of proper sanitation facilities, families were forced to practice open defecation, exposing women, children, and elderly community members to severe health risks, safety concerns, and loss of dignity. To address this critical need, Kansarmen SL Foundation, in collaboration with Care Climb, Stichting Kansarmen Sri Lanka, and local stakeholders, initiated a phased sanitation improvement program. As the first phase, two complete household washrooms were constructed to provide safe, dignified, and climate-resilient sanitation for the most vulnerable families.

Reason to choose this project

This project was selected due to the critical lack of basic sanitation facilities, which severely impacted the health, safety, and dignity of the community. Women and children faced daily risks due to open defecation, while poor hygiene conditions increased vulnerability to disease. Recognizing the urgent humanitarian need and the long-term development potential of Nugedolawaththa as a Model Village, Kansarmen SL Foundation and partners prioritized this intervention to restore safe and dignified sanitation facilities.
