School, Keenagolla Primary (Central Province)
Project Description
Keenagolla Primary is a small rural school where students have struggled with water shortages for many years. The school had an existing tube well, but there was no proper water system for drinking or cleaning purposes. The families in this area depend on seasonal agricultural work, with most parents engaged in chena cultivation and rice farming, and some working as daily laborers. During the dry season, work opportunities are limited, making it difficult for families to afford the necessary improvements for the school.
Location
The school is located in Walapane, a rural area far from the city in the Central Province, Sri Lanka.
Reason to choose this project
The school serves a very poor, isolated community where children face significant challenges due to a lack of basic water and sanitation facilities. These schools often receive little attention due to their small size, but without essential improvements, the students’ education is compromised, and the school risks closure. If the school shuts down, these children, unable to access alternative education, face deepened poverty.
Activities We Have Done
- Constructed an open well, 6 feet deep and 4 feet wide, with a concrete floor around the well.
- Supplied and installed a water pump.
- Built a pump house, installed an electrical cable (300 meters long) and a panel board.
- Installed a total pipeline system (260 meters long) for the school premises and existing toilet buildings.
- Reconstructed two existing 500L water tanks.
- Reconstructed one existing building with three urinals.
- Repaired the existing silver handwashing sink.
- Constructed one new handwashing unit (with four taps).
- Constructed three tap posts.
- Painted all construction work, including water-related facilities.
Community Contribution
Parents helped transport materials from the school gate to the construction sites, and assisted with digging and fixing the pipelines.
Beneficiaries :
- Students: 15 children from grades 1 to 5 benefit from the new water and sanitation facilities.
- Teachers: 6 staff members also benefit from the improved infrastructure.
