(Water means Life) Project ජීවයයි ජලය

According to the UN, each day nearly 1,000 children die due to preventable water and sanitization-related diseases globally. As a charitable foundation to stand for the needy, LCF along with Aqua Science, took initiative to complete a three-week project on 20th March 2022 with regard to the Water Day 2022. This project was initiated as a collaboration with the social media users, collecting details from them on schools with drinking water issues in Sri Lanka. Based on the details gathered end of the social media campaign, the two schools, Horampella Junior School, Horampella & Sri
Saddhawimala Vidyalaya, Kuliyapitiya were chosen.

Parallel to the filter installation project in these schools, associated the World Water Day, a drawing competition was also organized among the elementary-level children. All their creative and enthusiastic canvases of these kiddos were an exact reflection of how they experience the struggle of providing water and how they view the importance of water. This made our team revived to carry out these projects further throughout the country. And we did not forget to admire these little champs by awarding them with valuable certificates as a token of appreciation. The overall project is now benefitting around 300 students in addition to the schools’ academic and nonacademic staff.
