Sampath Bank’s ‘Wewata Jeewayak’ Restores Tanks, Uplifts Farmers

Sampath Bank PLC’s ‘Wewata Jeewayak’ programme continues its mission to restore Sri Lanka’s ancient irrigation tanks, ensuring a reliable water supply for farmers in the dry zone. As the Bank nears the completion of its 25th tank restoration, it premiered a short film that captures the emotional essence of this initiative.

The film follows an urban elite who, after receiving an act of selfless kindness from a farmer, initiates a tank restoration project that transforms the lives of an entire community. Featuring a moving performance by Sarath Kothalawala, the film highlights the struggles of rural farmers and the impact of Sampath Bank’s commitment to water sustainability.
