Indigollewa Yakawewa Primary School supports grades 1-5, catering to students from low-income families, mainly farmers. Salaries and basics are provided, but for example all the chairs are for Grade 1 size and none for the teachers or the older children. The project aims to re-furbish the school with basic necessities – to provide children with an enabling environment, necessary equipment and to motivate teachers by providing tools and infrastructure. Tables and chairs for children and teachers, cupboards, water tanks, stationary sets, shoes and socks will be purchased.
