Global Ehsan Relief (GER) Sri Lanka is actively transforming lives through its water well and hand pump projects, bringing much-needed access to clean, safe drinking water to underprivileged communities. In many rural areas of Sri Lanka, access to clean water is a luxury that requires long and exhausting journeys, often undertaken by women and children, who walk several kilometers each day to collect water. GER Sri Lanka’s water well and hand pump initiatives aim to alleviate this burden by providing easily accessible water sources directly within these communities, eliminating the need for such strenuous daily efforts.

These projects not only reduce the risk of waterborne diseases, such as cholera and dysentery, but also support healthier, more productive lifestyles by improving hygiene and sanitation standards. By providing a sustainable source of water, families are able to focus more on education, income-generating activities, and overall well-being rather than being consumed by the daily challenge of fetching water. The water wells are strategically placed to serve multiple households, ensuring that entire communities benefit from these life-changing projects.

The hand pumps, in particular, offer a reliable and sustainable water solution that can be easily maintained by local communities. GER Sri Lanka works closely with local leaders to ensure the proper upkeep and longevity of these systems, empowering communities with the skills to manage their water resources effectively. Through these efforts, GER Sri Lanka is not only addressing immediate water needs but also building long-term resilience and self-sufficiency within vulnerable populations.

GER Sri Lanka’s commitment to eradicating water poverty aligns with their broader mission of promoting health, dignity, and social stability. By ensuring access to clean water, GER is directly improving lives, fostering stronger communities, and providing hope for a better future. Every drop makes a difference, and through their water well and hand pump projects, GER Sri Lanka is ensuring that no one is left behind.
