Description

On 28 March 2025, IEEE Sri Lanka Section SIGHT launched Phase 5 of the Filter of Hope project at Gemunu Central College, Kuliyapitiya. This phase introduced a Deep Well Solar Water Pump Project, providing a sustainable solution for clean and safe drinking water. The initiative directly addressed the urgent reality that 1 in 3 people in rural areas lack access to clean water, a basic necessity for health and well-being. By leveraging solar-powered technology, the project ensures a reliable, eco-friendly water source for students and the wider community. The event reflected compassion, commitment, and collective action. With clean water access secured, the community stands to benefit through improved health, better support for education, and enhanced quality of daily life. This milestone at Gemunu Central College reaffirmed IEEE SIGHT’s dedication to advancing sustainable solutions and creating brighter futures through Filter of Hope.
