Fourth Smart Water Project at Lahugala Village, Mahaoya, Ampara District of Sri Lanka.

 
Lahugala village, situated in the arid region, consists of 416 families and faces a severe shortage of clean drinking water. Before the water project’s completion, the residents lived in conditions where access to clean and safe water was lacking. The existing water sources were heavily polluted, leading to numerous illnesses among those who consumed it regularly, including conditions like diarrhea, cholera, and kidney diseases.
