AM/DEHI/Kelegama Child Friendly School Water and Sanitation Improvement Project (Eastern Province)
Project Description
AM/DEHI/Kelegama Child Friendly School 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 farming community where most families depend on paddy cultivation, chena farming, seasonal agricultural labor, livestock rearing, and small-scale self-employment for their livelihoods. As the area lies within Sri Lanka’s dry zone, the community frequently experiences prolonged dry seasons and limited access to reliable water sources. Due to financial constraints and inadequate infrastructure, the school faced serious challenges in providing safe water and proper sanitation 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 water and sanitation facilities had severely deteriorated, creating an unhealthy and unsafe learning environment. The existing washrooms were in poor condition with damaged toilets, broken doors, leaking pipelines, and an unsafe water tower. Only one handwashing sink was available for the entire school, making it difficult for students to maintain proper hygiene. The project was selected to restore a reliable water supply, rehabilitate the sanitation facilities, improve handwashing infrastructure, and create a clean, safe, and child-friendly environment that promotes students’ health, dignity, and regular school attendance.
