Global Ehsan Relief Sri Lanka (GER-SL) has initiated a transformative Deep Well Project aimed at addressing the severe water shortages faced by rural and marginalized communities across Sri Lanka. In areas where shallow wells and surface water sources fail to provide a reliable supply of clean water, deep wells offer a sustainable solution. These wells, which reach deeper into underground water reserves, ensure that communities have consistent access to safe drinking water, even during the driest months of the year.

The Deep Well Project by GER-SL involves thorough geological assessments to determine the most suitable locations for drilling. These wells are designed to penetrate deep into aquifers, ensuring a steady supply of clean water free from contamination. GER-SL uses advanced drilling techniques and high-quality materials to construct wells that are both durable and efficient. In some cases, electric pumps are installed to make it easier for villagers to access the water, especially in communities where manual hand pumps might be less feasible due to depth.

This initiative plays a critical role in improving public health, as access to clean water significantly reduces the spread of waterborne diseases. By ensuring that even the most remote communities have access to deep wells, GER-SL is not only addressing the immediate water needs but also helping to create healthier environments. With better access to water, families can use it for drinking, cooking, farming, and hygiene purposes, enhancing their overall quality of life.

Moreover, GER-SL provides training and resources to local residents on the proper maintenance of these deep wells, fostering a sense of community ownership and responsibility. This helps to ensure the sustainability of the project and the long-term availability of clean water. The Deep Well Project is a testament to GER-SL’s commitment to creating lasting change and supporting the health, development, and prosperity of Sri Lanka’s most vulnerable populations.
