Vision: To give children in Sri Lankan Villages the advantage of healthier lives by providing clean water.
Mission: Raise necessary funds to install additional wells in schools to provide families clean water. NECF educates, advices, builds sanitary facilities and cooperates with villagers to reduce water borne diseases enhancing the opportunity for children to be educated.
In the heart of Sri Lanka’s picturesque villages, the New Era Children’s Fund (NECF) embarked on a mission of profound transformation. Our Clean Water Projects wove a ripple of change through rural communities, ensuring that every child had the foundation for a healthier, brighter future. This initiative was driven by a simple yet powerful vision: to gift children in Sri Lankan villages the advantage of healthier lives by providing access to clean water.
Our mission was clear and compelling—to raise the necessary funds to bring this vision to life by installing additional wells in school premises, thereby providing families and communities with clean water. This endeavor went beyond mere infrastructure; it was about educating, advising, and building alongside villagers to significantly reduce waterborne diseases. By doing so, we were not just enhancing children’s health but also amplifying their opportunities for education.
The tangible goals of our Clean Water Project were ambitious and heartening:
- We constructed water wells in the premises of 1,000 selected rural schools, creating a lifeline of clean water for countless children and their families.
- Alongside each well, we aimed to construct an overhead water tank, install solar-powered water pumps for sustainability, and ensure clean drinking water through filters installed in the downward pipes from these tanks.
- Recognizing the importance of sanitation, we were committed to building twin toilets with running water for male and female students in each project school, along with restrooms for school staff.
Our efforts had already taken root in several project areas, including Embilipitiya, Pinketiya, Yatiyantota, Kandy, and Chilaw. In each community, NECF’s work was a testament to our belief in practical, impactful action—a belief that clean water is not just a necessity but a right that can unlock the door to education and a future filled with possibilities.
Through the Clean Water Projects, NECF did not just install infrastructure; we planted seeds of hope and nurtured the growth of healthier communities. Each well we dug, each toilet we built, and every filter we installed was a step towards a future where every child could thrive, free from the constraints of waterborne diseases. We invited our donors and investors to join us in this vital mission. Together, we turned the tide for rural schools in Sri Lanka, ensuring that clean water flowed as freely as the dreams of its children.
