Thannabodiya Vidyalaya (Central Province)
Project Description
Thannabodiya Vidyalaya is a small rural primary school with 29 children from grades 1 to 5 and 6 teachers. The school is located in Thannabodiya village, an isolated and impoverished area far from the Walapane town in the Nuwara Eliya District of Central Province, Sri Lanka. The villagers are extremely poor, with most parents working as daily laborers on tea estates or practicing seasonal Chena cultivation. During the dry season, which lasts more than 6–7 months each year, the village suffers from extreme water scarcity, affecting both drinking water availability and sanitation. Students and staff often had to walk to nearby areas just to fetch water.
Location
The school is located in Thannabodiya village, far from Walapane town in the Nuwara Eliya District of Central Province, Sri Lanka.
Reason to choose this project
The school faced a critical water crisis every dry season, with no access to safe drinking water or sufficient water for toilet cleaning. This severely impacted the health, hygiene, and learning environment for young children. The project was essential to ensure year-round access to water and improve sanitation facilities.

Built a cover for the source well.
Excavated and laid a complete 700-meter pipeline system from the well to the school, including school premises, existing school buildings, and toilets.
