Project Description

Wanaraja Tea Estate Pre School is located in Hatton and serves children from tea estate worker families in a rural and economically challenged community. The preschool provides early childhood education and daily care for approximately 30–40 children. However, the facility faced significant challenges related to safe water access, sanitation, building safety, and outdoor accessibility. Inadequate water supply and deteriorated infrastructure affected the health, safety, and comfort of both children and teachers. To address these challenges, the Wanaraja Tea Estate Pre School Water and Facility Improvement Project was implemented to improve access to clean water, strengthen sanitation facilities, and create a safer and more supportive learning environment.

Location

Wanaraja Tea Estate Pre School,
Hatton, Central Province, Sri Lanka.

Reason to choose this project

The project was selected due to the inadequate water supply, poor sanitation conditions, and deteriorating infrastructure that affected the wellbeing and safety of children attending the preschool. Improving access to clean water and creating a safe learning environment were identified as priorities to support the healthy growth and development of young children from vulnerable tea estate communities.

Activities We Have Done

  • Repaired and prepared existing water storage tanks to improve water collection and distribution.
  • Constructed proper water filling pathways connected to the main water storage tank.
  • Repaired water disposal pathways to improve sanitation and environmental safety.
  • Provided water connections to:
    • 1 handwashing unit
    • 1 washroom

    • 1 water hose facility
  • Repaired and cleaned rainwater gutters to improve rainwater management.
  • Installed gutter funnels and repaired 6 water outlet points.
  • Painted the repaired gutter system to improve durability and appearance.
  • Repaired windows by fixing grills, repainting frames, and replacing damaged locks.
  • Repaired doors by installing new locks and fittings.
  • Constructed a new entrance pathway and improved the access road from the gate to the preschool building using concrete and interlock bricks to ensure safer access for children.
