Funding Jaffna Hospital improvement

Karai Welfare Society (UK) has funded £3000 to set up a recovery area and equips the recently built Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory in the Cardiology Unit in Jaffna Teaching Hospital  Sri Lanka.

Catheterisation laboratory which was donated by the Canadian Government will enable the hospital to perform coronary angiogram and other therapeutic procedures in Jaffna. This is a big step forward in the management of heart patients.

Water Supply to Karainagar

Karai Welfare Society (UK) purchased two new water bowsers for our people in Karainagar. The old water bowser was fitted with a mild steel tank purchased in 2005, had corrosion problems due to local environment and operating conditions. This was not possible to continue to use.

A 13,500-litre stainless steel tank was purchased in UK and transported to Sri Lanka in June 2010. This tank was fitted to a new Ashok Leyland lorry, which was purchased in Colombo. The total cost of this bowser is approximately £28,000.

We also bought a 5,500 litre small ELF bowser in December 2010 which is serving people living in small lanes. The cost of this bowser is approximately £15,000.  The small bowser was purchased money raised from the sale of the old bowser and revenue from the water supply.

Currently it is estimated that Karainagar have about 11,000 residents and is slowly growing. At present over 70% of the residents are benefiting from drinking water supply scheme. On average 20,000 litres per day of drinking water is being distributed to the residents. During summer months, the bowser brings water from Chunnakam 2 or 3 times every day.

The bowser crew supply water to about 165 individuals and/or distribution points. The amounts supplied ranges from 100 to 2000 litres. A nominal charge of 50 cents per litre is charged to cover the operating costs.

We have established a system and procedures so that sufficient money could be saved for future replacement of the water bowser without further donations from overseas. We are also actively seeking long-term viable solution for our drinking water problem.

Karai Welfare Society is appealing to all expatriate Karaigarian to make a generous donation towards this project.

We also wish to say THANK YOU to those who have donated money to this project.
