Water Drainage System

The NGO Malayaga Makkal Ondriyum is undertaking a vital initiative to construct a drainage system worth LKR 200,000 in Kaddennuwara, Matale, Sri Lanka. The picturesque village faces challenges during the rainy season, with water stagnation and flooding disrupting daily life and posing health risks. Recognizing the urgent need for a sustainable solution, the NGO aims to improve water management and enhance the living conditions of the local community.

The drainage system project includes the construction of concrete drains and culverts along the roads and strategic areas to channel rainwater away from residential and agricultural spaces. Additionally, the NGO plans to clear and maintain existing drains to prevent blockages and ensure smooth water flow. Through community engagement, Malayaga Makkal Ondriyum will actively involve villagers in the planning and implementation of the project, empowering the community and fostering a sense of ownership.

The impact of this initiative will be significant, mitigating flooding, improving health and sanitation, and enhancing agricultural productivity in the village. The drainage system will strengthen the community's resilience against heavy rains and minimize property damage. By addressing the pressing issue of water management, Malayaga Makkal Ondriyum's commitment exemplifies the transformative power of NGOs in promoting sustainable development and positively impacting the lives of those they serve.
