ADRA Sri Lanka will provide 1,539 households in 7 GN Divisions of Pottuvil, Ampara District with adequate access to clean water by connecting them to existing water pipelines.

In addition to this, the project expects to benefit 60 public places including schools, health and
community centers, religious places and government departments, benefiting approximately 5,000 people.
