Kurigngnampitiya Roman Catholic Sinhala Vidyalaya (North Western Province)
Project Description
Kurigngnampitiya Roman Catholic Sinhala Vidyalaya is located in Kalpitiya, under the Puttalam Zonal Education Office in Sri Lanka’s North Western Province. The school serves 425 students (220 boys and 205 girls) and is supported by 21 teachers (4 male, 17 female). Most students come from lagoon-fishing and estate labour families. For many years, the school struggled without access to safe drinking water and with severely deteriorated washroom facilities. Students were forced to bring small bottles of water from home, and poor sanitation conditions led to frequent absenteeism, particularly among girls during menstruation. The school’s only well produced brackish water unsuitable for drinking, creating an unsafe and unhealthy learning environment.
Location
Kalpitiya, Puttalam Zonal Education Office, North Western Province, Sri Lanka.
Reason to choose this project
The lack of safe drinking water and functional sanitation facilities posed serious health risks and affected students’ dignity, attendance, and learning outcomes. Non-functional washrooms and the absence of menstrual hygiene–friendly facilities disproportionately impacted girls. This project was selected to restore dignified sanitation facilities, establish access to purified drinking water, and create a safe, supportive environment for teaching and learning.
Activities We Have Done
Reconstructed the male washroom unit with four new urinals.
Rebuilt and upgraded two toilet units with in-built Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) systems.
Completed full plumbing works, roofing, painting, and replacement of doors for all washroom units.
Reconstructed the water tank stand to ensure a stable and reliable water supply.
Rebuilt two handwashing units, including one 4-tap unit and one 5-tap unit.
Connected all sinks and toilet units to the upgraded water supply system.
Installed a fully functional Reverse Osmosis (RO) water purification plant, funded by World Vision Lanka, to provide safe drinking water for the entire school.
Community Contribution
Parents actively supported the project by assisting with construction and unskilled labour, reinforcing community ownership and sustainability. A Sustainability Committee consisting of teachers, parents, and senior students was established to oversee operation and maintenance. Training sessions were conducted for teachers and students on RO system operation, hygiene practices, and responsible water use. The project was implemented from 07th to 31st August 2025 under the technical supervision of Kansarmen SL Foundation.
