In celebration of World Water day 2019 a ceremony took place to commemorate the handing over of a 30,000 litre Rain Water Harvesting System to Galauda Maha Vidyalaye in Badulla on 28th March 2019. Mr. Reed J. Aeschliman, Mission Director, USAID Sri Lanka & Maldives, Zonal Education Director, Kandakatiya , NGO secretary, Badulla and Dr. Tanuja Ariyananda, Chief Executive Officer of LRWHF, USAID and LRWHF staff, teachers, students and parents attended the event.

Mr. Reed J. Aeschliman thanked the LRWHF team for their efforts and stated that “Rainwater harvesting is an important method to access clean water, especially in light of the severe droughts and floods that have affected many parts of Sri Lanka in recent years.  For me, it is fascinating to know that these rainwater harvesting techniques were used by ancient Sri Lankan kings, and are still valued and used in local communities”.
