Ten high-capacity Water Purification Units donated by the Government of Brazil are set to provide safe drinking water to flood-affected communities in Sri Lanka, offering both immediate relief and long-term support for public infrastructure.
Each unit can treat up to 10,000 liters of water per day, collectively supplying clean water to around 7,000 people daily. Beyond disaster response, the units are designed for integration into schools, hospitals, and other public facilities, ensuring sustained access to safe water in affected areas.
The donation underscores the growing humanitarian partnership between Sri Lanka and Brazil, reinforcing efforts to improve disaster resilience and community health. Minister of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment and Tourism, Vijitha Herath, welcomed the contribution, highlighting its significance in both emergency response and long-term infrastructure development.
This initiative forms part of Sri Lanka’s broader recovery strategy following Cyclone Ditwah, demonstrating the importance of international cooperation in addressing both immediate needs and long-term community resilience.
