2025.01 Dambana School Project: Transforming Education and Preserving Heritage

The Dambana School Project has delivered progressive changes to the Dambana school and its surrounding community while supporting the preservation of cultural heritage. Through a series of impactful initiatives, the project has addressed important educational and community needs, ensuring long-term benefits for students, teachers, and villagers. One of the major achievements is the provision of a reliable water supply to the school. For 35 years, the school operated without running water, a challenge that greatly impacted students’ daily lives. The new water system benefits both the school and the community, with a dedicated outlet for local villagers to collect water. This vital resource fosters health, hygiene, and a stronger bond between the school and its community.
