Soragune Maha Vidyalaya Water and Sanitation Improvement Project (UVA Province)
Project Description
Soragune School is located in the Badulla District of Uva Province, Sri Lanka, and serves approximately 600 students. The school provides an important educational environment for children from the surrounding community. However, prior to the project, the school faced significant challenges with its water supply, sanitation, and hygiene facilities. Damaged washrooms, broken internal water supply lines, inadequate handwashing facilities, and insufficient water storage created an unsafe and unhygienic environment for students and staff. Female students were particularly affected, as the lack of safe, private, and adequate sanitation facilities created challenges in maintaining proper menstrual hygiene.
Recognizing the importance of providing children with a safe, healthy, and dignified learning environment, Kansarmen SL Foundation, in partnership with Foundation of Goodness, implemented the Water and Sanitation Improvement Project to improve the school’s water, sanitation, and hygiene infrastructure.
Location
The school is situated in the Badulla District of Uva Province, Sri Lanka.
Reason to choose this project
The school’s existing water and sanitation infrastructure was insufficient to meet the needs of its large student population. Damaged water supply lines, inadequate handwashing facilities, deteriorated sanitation infrastructure, and insufficient water storage affected hygiene and the daily well-being of students and staff. Poor water management and drainage also created the risk of waterlogging within the school premises. The project was undertaken to improve water availability, rehabilitate existing water and sanitation facilities, strengthen water storage and distribution systems, and create a cleaner, safer, and more hygienic school environment.
Activities We Have Done
- A new 10,000-liter water tank was installed on a newly constructed 9 × 9-foot concrete foundation, with a protective fence added for safety and protection.
- Two new handwashing sinks and three tap stands were installed to improve access to water for handwashing and daily hygiene.
- Six classroom handwashing basins were repaired and fitted with new taps, tubes, and valves.
- Water supply systems serving five toilets were also rehabilitated by replacing damaged tubes and installing new taps and valves.
- Two handwashing basins and three urinal water systems were repaired and fitted with new valves and tubes to restore proper water flow and functionality.
- Four existing 500-liter water tanks were renewed, including the construction of a new concrete foundation for one tank and an iron protective lid for another.
- Drainage channels were constructed to improve water management, ensure proper water flow and disposal, and prevent waterlogging.
- All exposed PVC water pipes were painted to provide additional protection and improve durability.
Community Contribution
The project was implemented by Kansarmen SL Foundation in partnership with Foundation of Goodness, with the active cooperation and support of the school community. The students’ parents made a valuable contribution by supporting the project team during the installation of the water pipeline, including assisting with the necessary work at the site. Their willingness to contribute their time and effort demonstrated strong community ownership and commitment to improving the school’s water and sanitation facilities.
The cooperation of the parents and school community played an important role in the successful implementation of the project and in promoting the sustainability of the improved facilities.
