AM/DEHI Henanigala South Vidyalaya Water and Sanitation Improvement Project (Eastern Province)
Project Description
AM/Dehi Henanigala South Vidyalaya is a rural school located in Nawamadagama village under the Dehiattakandiya Zonal Education Office in the Ampara District of Eastern Province, Sri Lanka. The school serves a predominantly farming community where most families depend on small-scale paddy cultivation, chena farming, seasonal agricultural labor, livestock rearing, and government livelihood assistance. Located within Sri Lanka’s dry zone, the community frequently experiences prolonged dry seasons, water scarcity, and limited access to reliable infrastructure. Due to modest household incomes and aging facilities, the school faced significant challenges in providing safe water, adequate sanitation, and proper hygiene facilities for its students and staff.
Location
The school is situated in Nawamadagama village under the Dehiattakandiya Zonal Education Office in the Ampara District of the Eastern Province, Sri Lanka.
Reason to choose this project
The school’s aging water distribution system and deteriorated sanitation facilities had resulted in an unreliable water supply, leaking pipelines, damaged washrooms, and inadequate handwashing facilities. The lack of proper water storage and wastewater management negatively affected students’ health, hygiene, dignity, and learning environment. Female students were particularly impacted by the absence of clean, functional, and private sanitation facilities required for proper menstrual hygiene management. The project was undertaken to restore a reliable water supply, rehabilitate sanitation facilities, improve handwashing infrastructure, and provide safe, sustainable WASH facilities for the entire school.
