Project Description

Kandalady Arunthathy Vidyalayam is located in Vakarai in the Batticaloa District of Sri Lanka’s Eastern Province and operates under the Kalkudah Education Zone of the Koralai Pattu North Educational Division. The school provides education from Grade 1 to Grade 5 and serves 117 students, including 64 boys and 53 girls.

The school community faced challenges in accessing safe drinking water due to contaminated water sources, which posed health risks to students and staff. To address this need, the Kandalady Arunthathy Vidyalayam RO Water Project was implemented to provide a sustainable source of purified drinking water and improve the overall health and wellbeing of the school community.

Reason to choose this project

The project was selected due to the difficulties faced by the school community in accessing safe drinking water as a result of contaminated water sources. Recognizing the need to improve water quality and protect the health of students and staff, World Vision Lanka fully funded the project and appointed Kansarmen SL Foundation as the implementing partner to establish a sustainable Reverse Osmosis (RO) water purification system for the school.

  • Installed a 5,000-liter Reverse Osmosis (RO) water purification plant to provide safe and clean drinking water for students and staff.
  • Connected the RO system to the required water and electricity supply to ensure smooth and uninterrupted daily operation.
  • Conducted practical training sessions for school representatives on:
    • Proper operation of the RO system
    • Routine maintenance procedures
    • Basic troubleshooting methods
    • Sustainable management of the facility
  • Established a follow-up and monitoring mechanism to support the long-term sustainability and effective operation of the RO system.
