The Aththanakadawala Rural Water Supply and Environmental Society and the Ikiriwewa Pinipokuna Community based Organisation that received these donations manage two water projects in Elahera, in the Ratnapura district.
Commercial Bank donated a photocopy machine, computers and furniture for the use of the two offices located at No. 19 and No. 21 Grama Seva Divisions, and provided the funds for a billing software solution and renovation of the two offices.
Around 1,400 families in the Elahera area receive clean water 24 hours of the day through these two water supply projects.
These two organisations were in need of equipment to maintain and update their daily records, computerise the billing system, as well as to photocopy various leaflets and documents.
