As we are awared that water tanks built by Holcim Lanka Ltd. in Nelumwewa area, are abondoned and not properly maintained for a long time, we came with the idea in renovation of those tanks. There, we choose an one abandoned tank nearby gramasewaka's residency. As water is the main issue that people are undergoing, we gathered the community and orgarnaized a campaign. We funded for the raw materials such as cement, sand, concrete, stones, paints, bricks. In 8th September 2012 we worked together with the villagers from morning to evening a whole day and fulfilled our target. Hence, eventually we were able to provide a huge clean water source which the community needs more, to fulfill the household chores and the day today activites. Finally, we could see the smile of their face is lightening, seeing their most wanted necessity; water.
