Kalapuwanam Tamil Maha Vidyalaya (Central Province)
Project Description
Kalapuwanam Tamil Maha Vidyalayam is a rural and underserved school located in Meddekumbura village, under the Kothmale Zonal Education Office in the Nuwara Eliya District of the Central Province. The school serves 263 students (131 boys and 132 girls) and is supported by 14 teachers (5 male, 9 female). In addition, 36 surrounding community families depend on the school’s water facility for their daily water needs. For many years, both the school and the community faced serious challenges due to inadequate access to clean water for drinking, sanitation, and handwashing, which negatively affected hygiene practices and the overall learning environment.
Location
Meddekumbura Village, Kothmale Zonal Education Office, Nuwara Eliya District, Central Province, Sri Lanka.
Reason to choose this project
The school and surrounding community had limited and unreliable access to clean water, making it difficult to maintain proper hygiene and sanitation standards. The absence of a stable water supply affected students’ health, daily school activities, and community wellbeing. This project aimed to develop and stabilize a natural water source and establish a reliable water distribution system to ensure safe and continuous access for both the school and nearby families.
Activities We Have Done
Developed and stabilized the natural water source located within a tea estate.
Constructed a small dam to retain and pressurize water at the source.
Installed two concrete rings to enhance natural filtration.
Laid a 500-meter pipeline through the tea estate to safely transport water to the school.
Installed a new 2,000-liter water storage tank and replaced three old water tanks.
Installed a new water motor and completed the electrical connection to pump water approximately 60 meters uphill.
Constructed one new handwashing unit and two new tap posts.
Renovated two existing handwashing units and two existing tap posts.
Established a complete pipeline system connecting water supply to two washroom units.
Community Contribution
Parents actively contributed by participating in trench digging and providing unskilled labour support. Madakumbura Tea Estate granted special permission to access the water source and to lay pipelines across the estate, enabling successful completion of the project.
