Galle district is belonging to Southern province. Its main district in the province. This

district has massive area and hill places, state include this. Its called Udugama. Udugama

famous for Tea and some other cultivated item. Its pleasant and many natural resources

contained. Population was mixed but mainly Christian, Buddhist and Tamil are living

peaceful. People of Udugama contributing for our economy. Infarstucre facilities not

much have. Government providing health service for citizen and no of hospital were

located all island. One of them Udugama Base Hospital. This hospital running under

southern province council.

According to hospital director Dr Pathirage Udugama base hospital has 8 wards and 40

staff. There provided lot of medical services except serious cases. Day to day patient

coming get medicine and admitted hospital. People visited patient they brought meals,

food for patient. Hospital collecting waste day to day aproxtemly 25kg. They dump this

thing and bed smell in the environment. Its not good for patient .It support to air

pollution. This was bad for patient as well as environment. But there having major

problem was waste didnt have much place for dump. They wanted sustainable solution

for waste.

Human & Environment Links Progressive Organization HELP-O had enough knowledge

as well as good experience about Biogas Program. We introduced our Biogas Unit and

waste management plan for solve this problem. For over come that challenge UNDP

ARTGOLD was funded and HELP-O Donor both implemented good program. Through

this program we proposed construct biogas unit and conduct awareness programs and

including donate dustbins and leaflets.

On 2009 October we were started and finished this program with faced difficulties and

much success. We constructed and instructed technical part finance assist by UNDP

ARTGOLD. This was great an effort and success achievement. Other part of the program

we conduct an awareness program for staff. They praised program because through that

they learned many things.

Waste management not easy any where in the hospital because many patient and people

coming to hospital every day. But Health department needed provide better service for

persons. The hospital authority needs sustainable solution for waste. Through thisprogram they expected finished waste problem and keep good environment. HELP-O has

been construct biogas unit according to our technology.

The capacity of biogas unit is 22m3 it can dump more than 125kg and 150kg per day

organic waste per day. The goal is providing biogas for hospital purpose and manure for

cultivating too.

The initial activity was see dump area in the hospital

and find place for construct biogas unit. After that we

were discus with Hospital authority which placesuitable for above. Both parties shared information and

came to final solution. According to director requested

we agreed their shown place. This place situated

between two wards.

According to that place we

made BOQ and other report to give donors and Hospital

authority. We observed place and look around hospital.

Proposed biogas unit capacity 22m3. Actually we could

obtain conclusion about static and expenses. According tofield visit we made report and started our duty. Through

this technical report we could able to realize the actual

situation of the area and the ground level.

The most important activities of the whole program are Awareness programs. Why

awareness program most important? They didnt have much knowledge environment

pollution, about segregation and how can get sustainable solution for waste even theydont know how to implement this in proper way. HELP-O planned conduct four

awareness programs for staff of the hospital. Our effort gave much knowledge about

decease of waste, effect environment and reduces environment pollution about this

program.

Already we conducted three programs other one will be conduct shortly because that

is the evaluation workshop. The first program was conducted by Mr. Chathura

Welivitiya Chairman/Project Executive HELP-O, and second program conducted Mr.

Thilak Kariyawasam Executive coordinator Sri Lanka Nature Forum and Mr. Sunil

Garusingha Assistant Director Province Office Galle Central Environment Authority.Between awareness programs they studied segregation of waste international code

system. How can face this problem and how can get sustainable solution for these

problems. We explained value of biogas system. We donated dustbins with

international code systems and carts to hospital doing segregation of waste. Staff and

patient hope good environment after construct biogas program. They got good

knowledge organic and farming about biogas unit.

Awareness program about Effective of Biogas units and Maintains

Mr. Chathura conduct this program topic was Biogas Unitand Benefits. According

to chairman lesson he explained value and important this for environment. During

the program how to work built biogas unit, effect of waste and reduce the wasteexplained to ordinance.

Effect of Waste

1. Water pollution2. Increase the global warming3. Massive small4. Climate change5. Dangerous air emission to air6. Many diseases affect to community.

After that he explained about the benefits of the biogas unit like

1. Decrease the irregular waste dumping2. Can use biogas for cooking purpose3. Start organic cultivation from the Manure4. Decrease the threat of Climate change by reducing the methane gas emission5. Waste Become a resource and good income for the hospitalWhile he was explained about why they should implement this program properly

and how they can get more benefits while on this he explained about the otherwaste management experience which is related to biogas program. For this program

hospital management and miner staff and nurses were participated.

According to them they have learned many things about biogas units and its

benefits and some of people agreed to construct biogas unit in their places. Even he

explained that what is the proper implementing process also he little bit explained

about the importance of waste segregation and international color code system too.

Awareness program about Biogas Technology and Maintenance

Mr. Thilak Kariyawasam conducted about Biogas

technology and Maintenance. He had been explained

to staff above matter well. According to him most

important things technology and maintenance followup proper way other wise couldnt get benefit. Also

his aware authority only essential items dump to

biogas unit. During his speech he explained some

things always should check and that is once a month

checking cooker, then pipe conditions and fill the water for top of biogas unit. This

matter understood well staff of hospital. He explained to Hospital management the

important of the follow up and waste segregation other wise whole program will be

shut even he explained to them about the basic conditions of maintains like

1. Check the gas tube and burner at least monthly2. Important of Waste S egregation3. Appoint special staff for only biogas unit and maintains4. When you are dump big organic waste cut to small pieces5. Dump only organic waste to biogas unit6. Insert water properly with Organic wasteThis program is very important because through that they able to know about the

proper implementing system and how it should be do.

Awareness Program about Non Organic Waste Management

Final program was conducted by Mr. Sunil Garusingha

Assistant Director Province Office Galle Central

Environment Authority. According to his program

explained about Segregation of waste and Non Organic

Waste Management. He said that our goal was built

biogas unit and get the benefit this program. During

this training period highlighted some topics. How to

segregation waste international code systems and

which item use for biogas keep these thing safely.

After awareness program working progress start good condition. He explained that

hospital generate clinical waste and that is much dangerous that other waste because

it is not good for human being. He strongly recommended starting the proper waste

separation process according to internat ional color code system. On the other hand

this program much valuable to start good waste separation process.

Main part of the

program construct biogas unit in the

hospital. We were

chosen land our field

visit. A capacity of

biogas unit 22m3 it can

dump waste between

125kg to 150kg per day. We started work October 2009. This unit construct and

technical by HELP-O.

During construct work down pour started and inside the pit landscaping. Becauseof that reason we couldnt finish work on time. But we worked creative support of

hospital staff, skil l laborers and our staff effort. HELP-O used all experience built

best biogas unit and handed over too. This program was a partnership program

under Public Private Partnership Concept. Now hospital is getting benefit from the

biogas unit and they have a good place to dump the waste and they have decrease

the LP Gas usage. We got Good Corporation from the hospital side and the Hospital

Management to implement this program in their place.

The opening ceremony was conducted on 13th January 2010 with the participation of

Secretary of Health Ministry Southern Province. On that day we have hand over the

biogas unit and dustbins and mobile carts to Udugama Base Hospital. This is the

first biogas hand over ceremony of the 2010.

We are finding sustainable

solution for waste. But we

cant get this solution easily.

We were dedicated and

sacrifices do this. An

awareness program conduct

for staff they were studied

well and now they have much

knowledge segregation ofwaste

For segregation of waste we

donated carts and dustbin

according to international

code system. According to

there knowledge put waste

separately about segregation

system. These things we can

get separate waste easy.

This segregation organic waste

use for biogas unit other waste

sell and earn extra income.

Because of segregation waste

we can reduce environment

pollution.

Main point of the program

was start the segregation

waste with out this cant

continue. Before they didnt do

that but now they have started

to segregate the waste.


10/17

HELP-O and Hospital authority planned conduct awareness materials for hospital

that is a hand bill and when one patient admit to hospital they provide this leaf let

to them and through that we have aware them about our program and waste

segregation process. This program we couldnt conduct program with out material.

Between programs we delivered hand bill for staff, patient and people of hospital

area. This paper mentioned waste management rules regulation, segregation waste

system, keep good environment in side the hospital and benefit of segregation of

waste etc included. Above point followed every one. People will be enjoyed better

environment. Patients are very hard to aware about this program and they are the

key persons who generate the waste and through that document we can easily

aware them.

This project we hoped done our plan activities. But we have been used manystrategies for completed this program in successfully. HELP-O has followed many

strategies for completed it. This waste is a massive problem. Every one need it

became successes but couldnt get easy we were uses many strategies for success

and gets advantage of this proj ect.

1)Private, Public Partnership. (PPP)

This is famous and valuable concept in the world. This is combination of private

and public partnership whole program. Actually this concept finds sustainablesolution for waste management contribution with all sectors. We implemented this

program under this concept and that is a good key for the sustainability. We got

good co-operations from hospital side to implement this program. Some times they

helped us to construct the biogas unit and co-operated for conduct the programs in

their hospital. From the hospital they are agreed to dump the waste properly and

monitor about this program. While we implement this program we have shared

responsibility between hospital authorities.

2) Awareness Program

Other strategies we conducted awareness program for hospital staff to doing this

program. According to awareness program we aware how can get sustainable

solution for waste and how to do this work. We conducted three awareness

programs for staff after that they understood well as well as doing work very well.

Without this program they didnt know segregation of waste system as well as

correct method. We learned to staff working responsibility to protect environment.

Through the awareness programs they could able to get good knowledge about this

program.

Those programs has been linked to others because this goes step by step from thebeginning program they can understand about the value and benefits of the biogas

and second we explain what is the suitable steps and process to run this program in

proper way by waste sorting and non organic waste management. Third program is

about Organic fertilizer and Modern Cultivation process and its benefits through

this way they start the organic cultivation. Finally we discuss about the challenges

and difficulties they have been faced during this program implementing.

3) Awareness Materials

We aware biogas program for staff but we have another problem is that how to

aware the patients. Without this program cant get achievement and do anything.

We provided hand bills for staff, patient and visited people of hospital. Every one

has follow up mentioned point. They studied about these segregation process and

waste system. End of this program they are starting segregation of waste and follow

up genuine method according to awareness program. Through this everybody

knows about the waste management process in hospital and that is one of good

system to aware them. We have used this strategy in several places and every place

is very success that is why we have implemented this.

4) According to Land Location

The hospital had place for construct Biogas unit. We have made a plan according toland location. This land situated between two wards in the hospital. We planed

construct without any change. We dig pit around shown area. Organization uses

some strategies. We arrange every thing about situation of hospital. We always

think no damage to hospital because of the biogas unit. According land located we

were made BOQ. HELP-O built unit no changed land this was success of the

program. In beginning of the construct some areas were collapse but we had to

rebuild those areas and we have followed technical guidance when we construct

the biogas unit.

HELP-O has implemented Biogas program for Udugama Base Hospital. All

programs has good working plan as well as have good goal to finish. But in

progress situation some plan for challenge and some incident occurred naturally.

We were faced below things challenges of the program.

During the digging pit surrounding wall break down. Because of that we faced

big trouble and our working plan also delayed. After that we made wall around

it. All constructions were delayed because of this reason and on that time there

was heavy raining situation. We cover the all area and started the construction

again. While we are construction we had to face raining situation.

Challenges of the Program


13/17

13

In working progress heavy rain started. Because of the rain inside the pit land

slide. After incident we get off soil for pit. This was another challenge we had to

face during the construction time. We used motors to pump the water and that

was an extra expense for us. We couldnt do anything this reason. Few days ago

no rain. After that we take off storm water inside the pit and started the

constructions.

Another challenge was aware the resident patients about this program and we

introduced a leaflet about normal regulations and the waste management

process. From this way we could able to aware them in easy way. The hospital

authority gives this leaflet when one patient rushes to hospital.

On the other hand hospital staffs change every time and we have keep monitor

about this program and we have follow this process even conduct training

programs for the newly staff. We expect to conduct more programs for them to

overcome that challenge.

For over come that challenge we faced problem and we sold this problem. These

entire problem we were gone to our aim and finally we constructed biogas unit for

hospital. We got trim ender experience about this program.

Under this program have many achievement during project period. HELP-O main

aim was construct biogas unit solution for waste problem. Initially we wanted

aware authority about biogas unit. We conducted three awareness programs for

staff after program studied well. Out put of awareness program is staff started

segregation of waste. It became main achieve of the project and they have started to

implement this in proper way. On this program we could able to stop the

environment pollution too.The biggest achievement is through this program they could able to solve the waste

problem and methane gas emission to air even they could able to decrease the LP

Gas usage for their cooking purpose. Now waste became a resource for the hospital

because through that they can get many benefits. The other good achievement is

people and staff have been started the segregation of waste according to the

international color code system.

A c h ie v eme n t s o f t h e P r o g r a m

Another achievement is we got many requests to construct the biogas units in

various places like private factories because they are suffering from this waste

problem. Effect of the program has been spread to many places.

We started construct biogas unit. During construct period we faced many problem

heavy rains, Landslide inside pit and beak down wall etc. All problems we sold

and day to day close to our achievement. Staff was help for us and has good

relationship between us and authority. Finally we construct biogas unit and handed

over to hospital authority. Now hospital started organic cultivation with using

organic fertilizer.

Our achievement was wealthy environment provided citizens. We construct biogas

unit reducing environment pollution some other deceases. Finally we achieved our

goals its became fruitful project.

In this program we have many future plans and expectations. HELP-O hope

launched Biogas program all island. Our aim keeps good environment and good

solution for global warming. Now we are introducing this program public and

private sector. We will be hoped our concept take international level also.

The hospital we expected good maintain and advantage given to people. This

program gets the benefit for wealthy life and sustainable solution for waste. Other

parts this model for health sector implement whole department. Urban council

waste working expenses reduced through this program. We wil l be expecting urban

council also followed this model. For this program we expect prevent some diseases

from patient and communities. Other thing we hoped people of Udugama has

followed their own places also.

Main expectation is facing global warming and deducts climate change. Althoughprotect water pollution and avoid massive small. This unique program becomes

good project of the country. HELP-O will be developed new technology to use this

program continue too. Through this experience we hope to expand this program to

many places and factories of the area.
