Project Description

Rathnayakepathana Vidyalaya is a small rural school located in the Ragala/Walapane area of Sri Lanka’s Central Province. The school serves 26 students and 4 teachers, mainly from economically vulnerable families. The project was implemented to improve the school’s water supply, sanitation, and hygiene facilities and to create a safer, healthier, and more supportive learning environment for students and teachers.

Location

The school is situated in the Ragala/Walapane area of the Central Province, Sri Lanka.

Reason to choose this project

The school had inadequate and deteriorated water and sanitation facilities, creating challenges for students and teachers in accessing safe water and hygienic washroom facilities. The existing water supply infrastructure also required rehabilitation and improvement to ensure a reliable supply throughout the school premises.
