AM/DK/Paranagama Vidyalaya Water and Sanitation Improvement Project (Eastern Province)
Project Description
Paranagama Vidyalaya, located under the Dehiaththakandiya Zonal Education Office, serves a rural community where students and teachers faced long-standing challenges related to sanitation and water access. The school has 271 students (125 boys and 146 girls) and 18 teachers. Over time, the existing washrooms had deteriorated, internal water supply systems had become damaged, and students had limited access to proper hygiene facilities. Female students faced additional difficulties in maintaining menstrual hygiene due to the lack of safe and private sanitation facilities. These conditions negatively affected student health, comfort, dignity, and the overall learning environment.

Reason to choose this project
The project was selected due to the poor condition of the school’s sanitation facilities and the inadequate internal water distribution system, which limited access to safe and hygienic facilities for students and staff. The need to improve sanitation, strengthen water access, and provide dignified facilities for female students was identified as a priority to create a healthier and more supportive learning environment.
Activities We Have Done
- Installed a 130-meter pipeline network across the school premises to improve water distribution.
- Renovated the existing water storage tank to strengthen water storage capacity and ensure a reliable daily water supply.
- Rehabilitated and upgraded both male and female washroom facilities.
- Improved the toilet system by providing 3 squat toilets and 3 urinals connected to a proper water supply system.
- Installed a Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) system to support female students with safe and dignified sanitation facilities.
- Constructed wastewater catchment pits to improve sanitation management and environmental safety.
- Installed 3 tap posts to improve access to water across the school premises.
- Rehabilitated 3 handwashing units to strengthen daily hygiene practices among students and staff.
