Red Cross supports four schools in Vavuniya to get the access to safer

water

RCPCRP supported four schools in Vavuniya North, Vavuniyaunder the school water and sanitation infrastructure development component. Three numbers of new tube wells were constructed in Periyamadu GTMS, Unchalkadai GTMS and Ramanoor GTMS, whileone existing tube well in Ananthyapuliyankulam GTMS was renovated.A total of 173 students of those four schools are directly befitting from this activity.

This was initiated upon the request made by Divisional Secretariat of Vavuniya North and based on the needs in the area. At the initial need assessment it was revealed that, dug well water is not available during the dry season and surface water gets contaminated with fluoride and humane excreta during the rainy season.

The installation of the tube well was done by Water Resources Board (WRB) of Sri Lanka, which is a recognized agency in water resource management in the country. Construction was completed within a month and awareness on managing the tube wells was also conducted by WRB. Students, teachers, school administrative officers and parents have attended these awareness programs. This was a good opportunity for all of them to clarify the matters related to tube well installation, maintenance and ground water conservation. A hygiene promotion activity was also done by the volunteers attached to Vavuniya branch.
