Health and schooling.
The construction plan for this toilet facility was designed by a woman from Liechtenstein. It turned out perfectly!
The first toilet facility was built at the Tamil Central College in Bandarawela. 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.

To date, we have been able to build 13 new toilet facilities and renovate four existing ones. We are currently working on another construction project in Galapitikanda – and hope that many more will follow. In addition to the new facilities for girls, urgently needed renovations of the boys’ toilets were also carried out at various schools.
Our sanitary facilities are by no means a standard feature in Sri Lanka. For many female students, they represent a completely new quality of life – especially during menstruation. With this project, we are not only creating physical infrastructure, but also space for dignity, health, and education.
