WC facilities for girls

In connection with the  «Menstruation as a taboo subject» project, it emerged that toilets for girls are urgently needed. Lankahelp is building toilet facilities exclusively for girls to provide them with the necessary privacy, hygiene facilities and shelter.

The construction plan for the toilet facility at Tamil Central College Bandarawela was designed by a woman from Liechtenstein. It turned out perfectly!

This school is attended by 2500 children and had 19 toilets. With our new toilet house, which consists of 3 toilets, the children now have a total of 22 toilets at their disposal! The conditions and facilities in Sri Lanka cannot be compared with Liechtenstein – but here is an example for comparison: the school in Ruggell is attended by 225 children and has 39 toilets and 12 urinals.

Toilet facility in Haldummulla

The toilet building for girls, which was completed just in time, is opened in our presence. We are very pleased – this toilet facility is also very well done. In Sri Lanka, sanitary facilities like the ones we have built are exceptional. It is extremely important to us that the girls have the opportunity to wash and change without being disturbed.

WC building for girls in Haputale

In September 2023, we granted permission for two more toilet buildings. Then the rain came and no work could be done for 4 months. After that, the O-Level / A-Level exams took place in the schools and again no work was allowed due to noise pollution.

Work finally started on February 5, 2024. Now, in May, the toilet building in Haputale has been completed and construction of the toilets in Passara can begin.
