Project Description

CP/KOT/Rambodagama Primary School is a rural and disadvantaged school located in Rambodagama village, within the Kotmale Education Zone of the Nuwara Eliya District, Central Province. The school accommodates children from Grade 1 to 5, most of whom come from low-income families of farmers and daily wage labourers. Socioeconomic conditions in the area are poor, and prior to the project, students faced serious challenges due to inadequate water and sanitation facilities, affecting their health and hygiene.

Location

Rambodagama Village, Kotmale Education Zone, Nuwara Eliya District, Central Province, Sri Lanka.

Reason to choose this project

The school’s lack of functional and hygienic water and sanitation systems hindered students’ ability to maintain personal hygiene and created a health risk. A sustainable solution was necessary to improve sanitation infrastructure, ensure clean water availability, and promote better hygiene habits among children.

Activities We Have Done

Reconstructed the existing latrine system by repairing damaged structures and replacing broken components.
Installed new taps and pipelines for the toilets.
Painted all doors, door frames, walls, and pipelines to enhance hygiene and appearance.
Constructed two new handwashing units to encourage proper handwashing practices.
Built a low concrete stand (6.5 ft x 6.5 ft) at the lower level of the school, fitted with valves, taps, a 2 ft x 2 ft safety net around the base, and painted for durability.
Installed a 2000-liter water tank on the lower platform and connected it to the school’s pipeline system.
Constructed a larger concrete base (7 ft x 5.5 ft) in the upper section of the school to hold 1000-liter and 500-liter water tanks.
Added safety handrails around the upper platform and painted them.
Connected both upper and lower tank systems using 1-inch PVC motor pipelines, completing all necessary plumbing work.
Installed proper drainage lines with a suitable slope for efficient discharge and system functionality.
