Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The Leo Club of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, in partnership with the Lions Club of Godigamuwa Centennial, delivered ten water storage tanks to families in Sewanagama, Habarana, Sri Lanka.
The groups completed the second phase of their ‘Pranadhara ’26’ project to help residents store water for drinking and household use. This effort addresses ongoing water insecurity in Sri Lanka’s Dry Zone, where droughts and climate change impact communities.
The United Nations Development Programme has noted the importance of strengthening local water storage in the region. Local officials, including a council representative and the Grama Niladhari, joined the Leo and Lions Club members during the distribution. The University of Sri Jayewardenepura’s Leo Club has worked with the Lions Club of Godigamuwa Centennial for years, focusing on youth leadership and community service.
The project demonstrates how small-scale interventions can improve lives while addressing larger national challenges in providing safe water to rural communities. The Sri Lankan government recently approved plans to expand water access to around 60 families nationwide.
