Well construction for the widows

Well construction for the widows in Maraillupai

During our visit to assess the families for suitable livelihood projects, we realized that 8 families out of 10 didn’t have access to water and hence they could not do any cultivation.

So, we started constructing wells for the 8 widows. But managed to construct 36 wells in 2012 with the generous donation from the well-wishers. We also financially supported the beneficiaries with cultivation and other livelihood projects.

Attaching 2 reports done for a charity called ONE KIND ACT, who donated £5,000.00 to construct wells for the disabled people. We managed to construct wells for 9 amputees and 1 paraplegic in various parts of Vanni. We visited most of the beneficiaries before and during construction and some photos are attached. More wells for amputees are under construction now.

Construction of wells is a difficult task, especially when the beneficiaries are from separate villages. Cost of construction depends on the width, depth, type of soil and also whether the job is contracted or beneficiaries contributed towards the labour. Moreover, some locations had higher labour costs than others. Therefore, predicting exact costs proved to be a challenging task.

In 2012, when we started constructing wells, we constructed the associated facilities such as water trough to store water, concrete floor to stand and draw water or to have bath and a pulley system to draw water. It costed a fortune, about £1000.00- £1500.00 per well. Since many thousands are in need of well/ water, we are now, excavating as far as reaching the water level, constructing parapet walls for protection of the well from ruining and rubbish falling into the wells during flooding, and people accidentally falling into the wells and plastering inside and outside for protection. Below is a such completed well.

We now expect the beneficiaries to do the associated facilities, so that we can construct wells for more people.

Since 2012, CHRF-UK has constructed approximately 700 wells. Lyca Mobile contributed for 100 wells in 2014. During our visit to Sri-Lanka in 2016, we witnessed numerous successful cultivation work by our beneficiaries, marketing their produce and looking after their children. Even though well construction is an expensive project, it is vital that we continue doing it since water is a basic human right, it is a lifelong investment and enabling the families to be self-sufficient.

  • We also provide meals and dry food, at various places in Mullaitivu district and Vavunia district.

Water

During our assessment to do self-earning projects in 2012, we realised that majority of the families in Nedunkerny and other villages were farmers and they didn’t have water/ wells for their day to day life and for farming /cultivation.

Water is essential to life, health and dignity and is therefore a basic human right. More specifically for hygiene purposes, combating diseases such as diarrhoea, dehydration and infections and food cultivation to support their families and children. Based on this, we managed to construct wells for women headed families with children in most of these areas. Objective of providing well is to ensure vulnerable target groups have sufficient water for sustainability, give them confidence and encouragement to get involved in the cultivation and home gardening, which shall ensure the food security, enhance nutritional condition, and also to strengthen their income level, and also safety and security of the children and womanhood in the respective villages.

Since we came to know about the water shortage in 2012, we have constructed 77 new open dug well, 2 tube wells, and refurbished 34 old wells in Nedunkerny, Mullaitivu and Puthukkudiyirupu.

Following the construction of the wells in 2012 and 2013 most of the families are successfully doing various cultivation, earning an income by marketing their produce and looking after their children.

Construction of children’s ward

Supporting another charity (Assist RR) to construct a children’s ward at Puthukkudiyirupu hospital which was completely destroyed during the war in 2009.
