At the request of workers who live nearby, a well was built for the Ellawala Deheragoda Primary College, which is centrally located between 10 villages and provides education to over 400 students.
The Kanuggalla Village Community Hall is home to all sorts of resources, including public meeting spaces, food storage, welfare programs, and elderly care. It’s also where the local preschool operates. There just wasn’t enough room for everyone, so a retaining wall was constructed to create a safe, separate area for the children.
