Lending a hand for better education and sanitation, Sri Lanka

, , ,

Kandegama Sri Parakrama Vidyalaya is in a rural area in Kegalle district in Sri Lanka with 150 students in grades 1 to 11. The children come from low income families and the majority of parents are rubber milk tappers in nearby rubber estates working under appalling conditions. Others are farmers or laborer’s who seek work on a daily basis and they find it difficult to make ends meet.

The aim of the project is to renovate the school facilities, equip the school library with new books, and build state of the art toilets for 150 students.
