Training Programs in Kurunegala district | CBO

Introduction

ROKY Holdings conducted vital training programs for Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) in the Kurunegala District. The sessions focused on the operation and maintenance of Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Nano water treatment systems. Our goal was to equip local community members with practical skills to keep these advanced filtration systems running efficiently. By targeting CBOs, the project encourages communities to take ownership of their water resources. This hands-on approach reflects ROKY Holdings’ commitment to sustainability and the long-term success of water infrastructure projects. Through education and empowerment, the initiative aims to guarantee reliable access to clean and safe drinking water for all residents.

Importance of Training Programs

Proper operation and maintenance of water treatment systems is essential for continuous access to safe water. RO and Nano filtration units require regular upkeep to prevent malfunctions and ensure consistent water quality. Training local CBOs helps communities avoid costly breakdowns and extends the lifespan of these valuable systems. Moreover, well-maintained systems reduce health risks associated with contaminated water, including waterborne diseases. This proactive approach empowers communities to be self-sufficient, decreasing reliance on external technical support. Additionally, community members learn to conserve water resources and promote environmental stewardship. The knowledge gained through these sessions strengthens resilience against water scarcity and infrastructure challenges. By building local capacity, ROKY Holdings ensures that water systems remain effective and sustainable long after installation.

Summary

The impact of the training sessions will be felt widely across the Kurunegala District. Communities with properly maintained systems enjoy uninterrupted access to clean water, improving public health and daily life. Schools, healthcare centers, and households benefit from safer water, leading to fewer illnesses and reduced healthcare costs. Empowered CBOs can now serve as local champions for water sustainability, educating others and encouraging responsible water use. Over time, these efforts create stronger, healthier communities with better social and economic outcomes. Ultimately, this project lays a foundation for a sustainable water future in Kurunegala and surrounding regions. By combining technical expertise with community empowerment, ROKY Holdings ensures that clean water remains accessible, reliable, and protected for generations to come.
