KN/Valaippadu Roman Catholic Tamil School is a rural school that faced long-standing challenges related to water scarcity and inadequate sanitation facilities, which negatively affected students’ hygiene, health, and learning environment. To address these issues, Kansarmen SL Foundation, in partnership with World Vision and local stakeholders, implemented a comprehensive water and sanitation upgrade aimed at restoring existing infrastructure and establishing a reliable and sustainable water distribution system for the school community.
Valaippadu Area, Kilinochchi, Nothern Province, Sri Lanka
The school suffered from an unreliable and deteriorated water supply system that was insufficient to meet daily needs for drinking, handwashing, and sanitation. Poor hygiene conditions posed health risks to students and disrupted regular school activities. This project was selected to rehabilitate critical water infrastructure and ensure continuous access to clean and safe water, thereby improving hygiene standards and overall wellbeing.
Fully renovated the school’s main well, including necessary structural repairs.
Upgraded the pump house and panel board with new wiring, plug bases, and a secured door.
Installed two 1,000-liter water tanks on a repaired stand, complete with protective covers and gate valves.
Restored two additional tank stands and installed one 1,000-liter tank and one 500-liter tank with new taps.
Constructed 2 new handwashing units and installed 4 sinks.
Installed 9 new tap posts and repaired 2 existing tap posts.
Newly laid pipeline networks across the school premises.
Established water supply connections to two washroom units and one urinal.
Parents and community members actively supported the project by assisting with material handling, unskilled labour, and site preparation, contributing to the successful and timely completion of the project.
Direct beneficiaries: 244 students and staff
Indirect beneficiaries: Approximately 1,800 parents, community members, and neighbouring households
