In response to the prevailing drought in the Polonnaruwa District, Hatton National Bank (HNB) recently donated 50 (1,000 litre) water tanks to the district, providing thousands of people much needed access to clean drinking water.
The tanks have been placed in densely populated areas in Medirigirya and Dimbulagala in order to benefit people suffering from a scarcity of hygienic drinking water due to the drying up tube wells and public wells. This donation has provided immense relief to these people who have undergone enormous physical and mental stress over the past few weeks.
The distribution of tanks was organised by the HNB Polonnaruwa Customer Centre under the HNB Sustainability Foundation, the sustainability and CSR arm of HNB, which has four pillars including Health, Education, Entrepreneurship and Environment. This project is the latest in HNB’s long history of responsible corporate citizenship.
