Harpic mobile toilets for Poson
Harpic, the leading toilet care brand in Sri Lanka launched its
latest CSR project, the Harpic Saneeparakshaka Sewawa - a fully fledge
mobile toilet facility at the recently concluded Vesak and Poson
festivities. Done for the first time in Sri Lanka, this project is aimed
at providing hygienic facilities for visitors who throng to religious
locations and will be found at upcoming festivals and ceremonies around
the island over the next few months.
This fully-fledged mobile toilet created out of a converted twenty
foot container comprises six separate units which will be accessible to
the public free of charge at locations frequented by pilgrims. As Sri
Lanka's leading toilet care brand, Harpic will be providing cleaning and
maintenance of the unit during festival times.
"Harpic brand made a pledge to our large consumer base around the
island that we would make Sri Lanka a hygienic and safer place to live
in. The Harpic Saneeparakshaka Sewawa was launched as a part of this
promise with the goal of providing clean and safe sanitary facilities to
the devotees who attend these events," said Tanzim Rezwan, Head of
Marketing Reckitt Benckiser (Lanka) Ltd. "As a brand that has been
synonymous with toilet care for so many years, we realized that this was
something we had to do."
The unit which was unveiled at the National Vesak festival in Buttala
last month was later moved to the much frequented location at Navam
Mawatha Vesak zone which had over 1 million attendees. The unit was also
made available to over 10,000 visitors at Mihintale during the Poson
festivities.
"Whenever such a large number of people gather, providing everyone
with clean sanitary facilities is always a problem. So many large-scale
religious festivals happen in Sri Lanka every year, and providing
hygienic toilet facilities is essential.
The response to this service has been tremendous. I thank the Harpic
brand team and Reckitt Benckiser Sri Lanka, for facilitating this
project," said Chandraprema Gamage , Commissioner General of Buddhist
Affairs. |
