Sinopec’s “Clear Spring” brings safe drinking water to Madhu

Sinopec has launched “Sinopec Clear Spring,” a CSR Project to improve access to safe drinking water in Sri Lanka, with its first public installation supporting the annual Madhu Vandanava pilgrimage. 

The company, together with the Bishop of Mannar Rev. Dr. Anthonipillai Gnanapragasam, and Administrator Rev. Fr. Peppi Sosai donated and installed a water purification unit at the Madhu Maatha Filling Station to serve visiting pilgrims and nearby communities.

For years, access to safe water remains a practical need during the pilgrimage, where many travelers spend long hours in warm conditions. The brand-new Water Purification Unit, which can filter up to 5,000 Liters per day, was welcomed by residents and pilgrims, who used it to refill bottles and canisters throughout the week. Groups of Pilgrims and families described the installation as a timely, useful addition that eases heat-related strain during peak footfall and will continue to serve the area after the festival.

The Sinopec Clear Springproject aligns with the government’s “Clean Sri Lanka” agenda and represents Sinopec’s second public service effort under this program following the provision of clean, accessible washrooms at Sinopec FillingStations across the island. The company will work with dealers and local authorities to identify additional high-need sites, track usage, and analyze outcomes.
