Tokyo Cement Group’s ‘Fountain of Life’ project gifts purified drinking water facilities to the people of Siyambalagaswewa in Mihintale.
The Company installed a customised water purification system with Reverse Osmosis Technology with an output capacity of 5000 litres a day, endowing the most precious gift of life on nearly 650 people, whose key livelihood is based on chena cultivation and freshwater fishing in the famous Mahakandarawa Wewa. Due to difficulties in accessing potable water, chronic kidney disease of uncertain origin (CKDu) had afflicted several residents of the village, while posing a great threat on the lives of the children and vulnerable groups of the community. Tokyo Cement Group worked in association with the Rural Development Department of North Central Provincial Council and the Siyambalagaswewa Village Development Society for this project.
