UNICEF has allocated Rs 2.5m to build basic nine schools in Vadamaradchy, Jaffna, to build facilities to provide drinking water and to build latrines, sources in Jaffna said.

Only schools that were completely destroyed by tsunami and functioning in temporary shelters have been selected for this project.

UNICEF and Vadamardchy region education department are making arrangements to expedite the rebuilding work so that students benefit from the added facilities without delay.
