Edoovillage #3024 - Sri Lanka, Meegammana: School Meegammana

The school is a state school for girls and boys from grades 1 to 11. The 260 students come from very poor families, whose parents often work in agriculture or as small (street) traders. As in most state schools, the toilets are unfortunately in a disastrous condition and need to be repaired. The toilets are very basic and do not even have a door or a proper toilet bowl. The sink area is also reduced to a minimum. Hygiene in schools is a very important factor in preventing the spread of disease due to a lack of washing facilities.

In addition to the above-mentioned structural conditions, Happy Bambini attaches great importance to improving the learning environment. This includes tables and chairs, but also laptops and tablets to familiarize children with digital devices. Learning how to use modern IT technology is the basis for professional development after school.
