HELP-O implemented many programs for climate change adaptation or mitigation programs. In 2004 started first biogas unit at Karapitiya Teaching Hospital and it was the Asia’s First Biogas unit and it is function. It was a real challenge to implement biogas unit at hospital and with base of that HELP-O could developed sustainable process in many sectors. It could expand to community biogas, industrial biogas, and domestic biogas concepts. This concept was significantly developed by the technical team of HELP-O and highly affected to minimize methane gas emission.
We have many years’ experience about biogas construction field. The first biogas unit we have implemented in Karapitiya Hospital in year 2004 from, that day we implemented biogas units in different sectors as follows:
Make Galle Bio Energy City
Galle is the capital city of the Southern Province and it has an ancient history and this is filling with many natural resources. Many organization has been constructed many biogas units in Galle city and many people are using the biogas for their daily use.

Karapitiya Teaching Hospital Biogas Program
This is the first biogas unit that constructed in a hospital AISA. In order to address the massive problem of unsystematic disposal of solid waste in Karapitiya Hospital’s inability to address this problem, the doctors refused to work in the hospital.
HELP-O took the initiative to find a solution for the waste problem. As a result of that a Bio‐gas plant was initiated. Normally hospital could save more than Rs.40, 000 monthly by reducing the LP Gas consumption. As a result of this project, the hospital is now experiencing the benefits of the bio‐gas plant.
* Bio-chemicals is been used to produce bio‐gas.
* Plastics and polythene is been sold for recycling.
* Organic garbage is been used for fertilizer.
This program benefits to reduce the wastage issues in “Karapitiya” Hospital. Thus, they save 4 cylinders fuel that used in hospital kitchen and use bio‐gas instead of it. Through this biogas unit hospital can earn money from cooking previously they used LP Gas they use this extra energy for their daily requirement. This was a total solution for the waste problem of the hospital now Hospital earns from the throwing waste. The program sponsored by USEAP. Downloads!
HELP‐O has implemented many environment programs before we done program to sort the waste house wise after end this program we implemented the second phase of waste management program through this we are constructing biogas plants in village wise those villages are dustbins distributed areas previous project.

The program is totally community based. Now that program expanded to many places with base of the Biogas units. Now many of house wives started the cultivation with using the organic manure of the biogas. HELP‐O promoted the organic cultivation through
