Project Description

Sandamadulla School is a rural government school located in Damanewela, Ampara District, under the Dehiattakandiya Education Zone in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka. The school provides education from Grade 1 to Grade 13 and serves approximately 388 students. Before the project, the school’s sanitation facilities, particularly the girls’ washroom, were in poor condition, with damaged toilets, inadequate water supply, and insufficient privacy. These challenges affected students’ hygiene, health, dignity, and overall learning environment.

Location

The school is situated in Damanewela, Ampara District, under the Dehiattakandiya Education Zone in the Eastern Province, Sri Lanka.

Reason to choose this project

The existing washroom facilities were deteriorated and inadequate to meet the needs of the school population. Damaged toilet facilities, insufficient water supply, and a lack of proper privacy created significant challenges for students, particularly female students. The poor condition of the facilities also affected hygiene and the overall school environment. The project was undertaken to improve the sanitation facilities, establish a reliable water supply, and provide clean, safe, private, and dignified washroom facilities for students and school staff.
