Project Description

Hingurewela Primary School is a rural school with children from economically disadvantaged families. The school is located in an isolated area where water scarcity is a serious issue, particularly during the dry season. Villagers, many of whom work as daily laborers in vegetable farms, rice fields, and Chena cultivations, face difficulties in securing water for drinking and sanitation. Every year, the school struggled to provide water, forcing students and staff to walk long distances to fetch water from a source well.

Location

The school is situated in Higurawala village, far from Therepehe town in the Kandy District of Central Province, Sri Lanka.
