New Expectation of Attractive Ulagalla Resort
Up to now construction part has already done and
within a few days we expect to dump cow dung to
generate biogas process. The best thing is we have
introduced the Slurry Management Process of the
biogas. The slurry filters as purify the water and
never release the slurry without purifying. This is
the newest technology we introduced to biogas
units.
As an alternative energy beside biogas
An alternative for electricity power to lightning
Organic fertilizer for fertilizer needs
The program aim to aware the participants about the effective and benefits of the biogas
and also we aware them about why we need biogas and how this affect globally for us
and what is the necessity to protect the environment. Step by step we aware what are
facilities we can get from the biogas. The school has cultivation in the school premises
and we aware them to use the bio fertilizer as manure to their cultivation also aware
them can apply this manure, hormone and pest controller.

Facilitating Community Biogas Unit – Walauwatta Village
Walauwaththa, is located near the Galle town.
Under USAID SARI program HELP‐O had
provided the domestic biogas unit to this village.
With our previous experiences of domestic level
HELP‐O involved to implement a biogas unit,
that unit is fiberglass biogas unit with the
capacity of 6m3 and 50kgs of waste with water.
The biogas unit provided under loan basis and
they are getting benefits from the biogas unit
now they put the waste to biogas unit and waste
is not a problem to them. The beneficiary is
happy about this unit because she doesn’t need
much space to install the biogas unit and she
expects to start the cultivation from the organic
fertilizer of biogas. Not even that she already
started to repay the loan installment and
according to her statement now she can save
much money that she expended to LP Gas and
fire wood. The step we have taken is little
different because this biogas unit is totally loan
basis after install this biogas unit we could able
to got many requests like this biogas unit. The
organization expects to use that fund as a
revolving fund to expand the program in future.
This village has very little space and it is very
populated so this kind of biogas unit is perfectly
matched to the community need. The other thing
is people can recover the cost within very short
period and after that they can have the profits.
Under the SARI Energy program we could able
to implement very success program in many
places of the district. And the program was
much effective to reduce the waste from the
generating place. The all programs are
community based and implemented the though
the community network of the HELP‐O.

Success Community Biogas Unit – Negombo
Negombo is one of well populated city
of the country and it a commercial area
too. With the support of the CITYNET
we constructed the two biogas units in
Don bosco village. The waste collection
was very high in the village and
authority of waste management belongs
to Negambo Municipal council but it
was difficult to manage the total waste
properly so that they were searching for
a better solution for this huge problem
and Municipal Council is one of
members of CITY NET Japan, with the
financial support of CITY NET and with
the technical support of HELP‐O as an
active partner involved to implement
two biogas units at Don Bosco with the
capacity of 22m3, 500kgs of waste with
water can be dumped in to this unit
One biogas unit constructed inside of the
village and second biogas unit
constructed in Don Bosco Technical
School with the request of the Municipal Council. It has few major reasons for it.
Collection waste is huge amount and other thing is the school had many pigs and there
is no place to put the pig dung properly. So there is a huge environment problem and
few of people complained about this situation. So we consider about this situation and
constructed the biogas unit in Don Bosco Technical School.
At the moment we could able to dump the warm cow dung to the second biogas and
we are waiting to produce the Methane gas from the warm cow dung. The school
expects to use the biogas as a renewable energy source. Actually biogas is the best
answer for current huge waste problem for every country when considering their
nature because it is cost effective, profitable and environment friendly process. Also
they have a plan to start cultivation in the school because they have enough space for it
to start the organic cultivation.

active Carbon in dumping yard with the support of
German analyzer there, they have found CH4, Co2 and O2
of the biogas and content of gases were good and their

Through this program we could expand our programs to other hotels too, seeing the
benefits we are requested from other hotels to construct a biogas unit at their premises.
It is timely solution for this energy crisis to face without inconvenience and reducing
Global Warming and climatic changes are other benefits. Now waste became a
marketable item and it has a value now even they are earning from the throwing waste
and that is good model to study.

The Best Solution for Increasing Prices of LP Gas
With the globalization people have various facilities to link
with the world as a result of this, people are always finding
easy and comfortable life style by neglecting traditional
methods with their busy lifestyle, before ten years or more
people are used to cooking food by using fire wood. At that
time it was a symbol of wealthy life is using gas for cooking.
Modern is world loosing the natural gas and fuel day by
day.
At the present majority of people use LP Gas for their
cooking purpose and they have to spend much on LP Gas
monthly. They have to face lots of trouble with LP Gas usage
because the prices of Gas are always increasing, as a person
who takes monthly payment that is very badly effect
because they plan what to do after having their salary.
People are suffering from this problem highly. People have
to face for rapidly changing economics conditions as an
example gas price of Sri Lanka has increased about Rs.238/=
and according to report of Department of Census & statistic,
average monthly per capita income Rs.9104 and considering these facts we can realize
that what is the situation of them like essential goods as gas. This is situation is same in
all over the world day by day natural gas and fuel are decreasing. People should find
renewable energy source and environment friendly is very important.
That is why we are launching biogas projects by expanding to other parts of the
country. Actually this is the best and proper solution for suffer of them. Think a
moment we remove tears from their eyes by applying smile on their face as the national
career of biogas sector in Sri Lanka. With Biogas we can create environment friendly,
cost effective energy power. We expect to introduce this concept house to house for the
betterment of the nation, country and world. Early time biogas applied only for animal
waste but HELP‐O could able to convert this technology to municipal waste and that
was a revolution of the country. This is one of good and sustainable solution for energy
program, waste problem and not even that this is directly link with the health of
community.

any solution in their level will forward through this small groups to branch level. The
village people take leadership in this program & their financial & other social problems
discussed in village level through the participation of community. The People’s
Movement of HELP‐O is the combination of these village leaders & the village level
matters are taken in to discussion in this table among the leaders.
In present these community net work are much powerful to find a solution for their
problems through their own assets even. As they mobilize savings in village level they
are enrich to provide credits for the people. This is one advantage of this net work in
case of poverty elimination. It will occur to promote economic growth is indirect way as
these credits are supplied for the self employment needs specially. As well as supply a
credit will be a help to finding employment also. Sharamadana campaign & other kind
of gathering organized in village level through the people’s movement leans the
community towards the one common aim that is development.
Now they have ability to provide financial facility & other social assistance not only
their villages but also for other villages of our people’s movement. In this way our
HELP‐O people’s movement provide guidance for the community to go forward alone
in village level with the main aim of eradicate the poverty & in present they are trying
to reach sustainable in village level through these process.
