Knowledge Sharing Session Galgamuwa – Awareness Raising Project by LCF

Awareness means empowering…!!

Galgamuwa Divisional Secretariat is identified as an area which reports frequent drinking water problems in newscast. Water is often not a common sight in the dry zone. However, during last 3 to 5 years the Galgamuwa Divisional Secretariat division in the Kurunegala District had sadly witnessed this scenario. Particularly, their lakes dried out and most of their paddy fields wilted, while the hope for rain faded away.

With the aim of being a strength for this community, LCF decided to answer the existing water treatment problems faced by these people. Consequently, on 12th September, 2020, we initiated an awareness program mainly targeting Galgamuwa Divisional Secretariat Offices on the existing water treatment problems and problems faced by the community organizations in the Galgamuwa Divisional Secretariat Division, the problems faced in distribution etc. the officials of the National Community Water Supply Department, Divisional Secretariat ABC Trade and Investments (Pvt) Ltd participated in that event through the direction of LCF. We believe that this session was significant for the participants in terms of familiarizing how to properly maintain RO equipment as well as to learn the uses of modern technology in rural water schemes which would play a decisive role in answering the prevailing problems of the people in Galgamuwa.
