Usgala Thissa Maha Vidyalaya (North Western Province)
Project Description
Usgala Thissa Maha Vidyalaya is located in Galgamuwa in Sri Lanka’s North Western Province and serves a rural, drought-affected community facing difficult environmental conditions. The school has 547 students (263 boys and 284 girls) and is supported by 33 teachers.
For many years, the school struggled with severe water and sanitation challenges. The existing well had failed due to rocky underground conditions, pipelines were damaged, and washrooms lacked a proper water supply. Poor hygiene conditions and unpleasant odors discouraged students from using the sanitation facilities, while teachers and visiting students experienced daily discomfort during educational activities, seminars, and examinations. The lack of safe and reliable water negatively affected health, dignity, learning conditions, and the overall school environment.
Location
Usgala Thissa Maha Vidyalaya,
Galgamuwa, North Western Province, Sri Lanka.
Reason to choose this project
The project was selected due to the school’s critical water scarcity and deteriorated sanitation conditions, which severely affected students’ hygiene, health, and educational environment. The absence of a reliable water distribution system and functional sanitation facilities created daily hardships for students, teachers, and school visitors. Kansarmen SL Foundation prioritized this intervention to restore safe, sustainable, and dignified access to water and sanitation services for the entire school community.
Activities We Have Done
- Rehabilitated and deepened the existing open well through cleaning and structural repairs.
- Installed a protective Amano well cover to safeguard the water source.
- Installed a water pump and completed the electrical system for continuous water supply.
- Constructed a secure pump house to protect the pumping system.
- Constructed an 18-foot iron water tower with safety handrails.
- Installed 3 water storage tanks with protective fencing.
- Laid a 650-meter pipeline network across the school premises to distribute water efficiently.
- Constructed a new male washroom unit with 1 squat toilet and 4 urinals connected to the water system.
- Installed 6 tap posts and completed 7 handwashing units, including newly constructed and rehabilitated facilities, to improve daily hygiene access.
