Vishaka Pre-school

There are approximately about 25 preschoolers currently studying in Vishaka nursery, situated in Madawachchiya District In Rural Srilanaka. The village that this Nursery located (Hiralugama) currently battling with known kidney failure issues amongst the residents. It’s said, that there are about 55 Adults who are currently identified as already having Kidney failures . It has been recognized that having access to cleaner water can prevent these kidney failure been further spread in to the community at Large. Initially we are planning to install a proper water purification system (RO Filter)  in this preschool. So in that way we can at least make sure the safety of our future generation.

We have tested the water. TDS level of this temple is 338. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in water are some organic and inorganic materials, which include minerals and ions that are dissolved in a particular quantity in water. TDS Level in parts per million(ppm) 300-500 is less acceptable. A high TDS level, however, can affect the taste and odour of water. Reverse Osmosis removes TDS by forcing the water, under pressure, through a synthetic membrane.

We have donated a RO Water filter for this pre-school. Teacher and the parents appreciated this donation.
