Going beyond providing temporary solutions for humanitarian issues within the society, we intend to provide sustainable solutions for the local communities with the use of technology. With IEEE Sri Lanka Section SIGHT we connect with local communities, work along with them to transform the community in such a way that they feel part of the process. If you are interested in joining hands to a project which could delivers a positive impact with technology, this is the place you should be.
Awareness Session The ‘Filter of Hope’ project initiated by IEEE Sri Lanka Section SIGHT is aimed at providing purified water to two villages in Polonnaruwa district of Sri Lanka. The villagers have been suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) which is said to be a result of impure water consumption. Under this project IEEE Sri Lanka Section SIGHT intends to do is to establish a customized RO filter which will be based on the water samples tested in laboratories. The installation of the filter will be done at a common water source (well) which has the capacity to provide water to the villagers.
Being an integral part of the communities where we operate, we as IEEE Sri Lanka Section SIGHT Group believe that we should meaningfully enhance and enrich the lives of those around us. "Sihinayata Peraman," is a career guidance, Innovation and leadership training project, launched for making student from underprivileged communities knowledgeable on the above areas.
IEEE නැණස, is collaborative project between the SLSAC and IEEE Sri Lanka Section SIGHT with the intention of promoting STEM education among school students in the country. School students from mainly underprivileged communities are encouraged to pursue a journey in STEM education going beyond the school curriculum.
In addition to the Filter of Hope, The Journey To Your Dream, and IEEE නැණස projects, the IEEE Sri Lanka Section SIGHT Group continues to contribute to a range of other humanitarian projects aimed at addressing critical societal challenges through technological solutions. These projects focus on various areas such as disaster relief, healthcare, and education, aligning with the mission to leverage technology for the betterment of local communities. By working closely with local partners and empowering underprivileged communities, the IEEE Sri Lanka Section SIGHT Group strives to create sustainable impact, addressing both immediate needs and long-term development goals.
Marking a significant milestone in the journey of IEEE Sri Lanka Section SIGHT, we were able to win the Best Affinity Group Project Award at the IEEE Sri Lanka Section Awards 2022 for our project සිහිනයට පෙරමං (Sihinayata Peraman) or "A Journey to Your Dream" We are proud of the hardwork of our amazing team and appreciate everyone who supported us along the way!
