Kansarmen S L Foundation (the English meaning of Dutch word “Kansarmen” is under-privileged) has operated in Sri Lanka since 2005, as a water and sanitation solution provider for the rural schools and disadvantaged communities. The Foundation was borne as a baby of a Dutch organization.
The parent organization – Stichting Kansarmen Sri Lanka was founded in The Netherlands by a Dutch volunteer in 2004 after Tsunami, with the aim of helping increase access to safe drinking water and sanitation for school children in rural Sri Lanka.
After successful completion of over 50 water and sanitation facilities for the schools, communities and disable homes with the help of a highly committed local team with direct funding from The Netherlands, a presence of local organization became an essential requirement.
