Sri Lanka’s ‘water champion’ proud of work initiated by Appe Lanka By Yomal Senerath-Yapa View(s): View(s):Many are the gratifying memories Shaan Corea recalls after being given a UAE Embassy Award as a “Water Champion” – a title that fits her, given the crusades she has been leading with her organization Appe Lanka to secure clean water for people of our rural areas. Appe Lanka has been working to make rural lives better since 2018, but the award especially recognises their work in the North and in Poonakary. In the meanwhile, continuously maintaining the RO plants providing water to thousands of families is a responsibility Appe Lanka takes very seriously. Over the years she has built a relationship with the communities Appe Lanka has served. To know more about the project, or partner with Appe Lanka, please contact 0772872056 or info@appelanka.com.
