Project Description

Galabada Primary School is a small rural school with children from economically disadvantaged families. The school is located in an isolated village, far from the Padiyapelella town area in the Nuwara Eliya District of Central Province, Sri Lanka. The community comprises families engaged in tea estate labor and seasonal chena cultivation. Water scarcity is a severe issue in this region, especially during the dry season which lasts over 6–7 months annually. During this time, students and teachers struggle to access water for drinking and sanitation, often having to walk to nearby locations to fetch water.

Location

The school is situated in Galabada village, a remote area in the Nuwara Eliya District, Central Province.

Reason to choose this project

The school lacked reliable access to water, especially during the prolonged dry seasons, severely impacting students’ health and hygiene. This project was identified as a priority to ensure year-round access to safe water and proper sanitation for both students and staff.

Activities We Have Done
  • Reconstructed an old, existing community source well.

  • Reconstructed the community pipeline system.

  • Supplied a complete new pipeline system for the school, including the school premises, buildings, and existing toilets.

  • Constructed a low concrete water stand.

  • Supplied a 5000L water storage tank.

  • Constructed one handwashing unit (with four taps).

  • Built two tap posts.

  • Painted all construction areas and water-related facilities.

Community Contribution

Parents, teachers, and students contributed labor by transporting materials, digging trenches for pipeline installation, assisting in construction activities, and helping with painting.

Beneficiaries : 130
  • Students: 23 children from grades 1 to 5 directly benefit from the improved water and sanitation facilities.

  • Community: 100 indirect beneficiaries, including nearby villagers.
