Background
In Jaffna there are several islands that have been isolated from the connection to the main area of Jaffna due to the ethnic war that prevailed in Sri Lanka for the last few decades. Most of the families in this area have had family members either displaced, abducted or killed or abducted, resulting in the move of their families to the homes of either their relatives or friends' homes in the mid part of the Jaffna Peninsula, in order to maintain their livelihood.
After the war ended in 2009, although much advancement has been made in Jaffna, there is still a lot of work to be done for the island residents.
How you can help
The need for water tanks for schools in this area has been identified.
Clean water is one of the most basic requirements we should provide for our children. Due to the difficulty in sourcing clean water, many children have at one time or another been affected by water related illnesses resulting most commonly in urinary infections and coronary diseases.
In an effort to provide clean drinking water to the children of these schools, we hope to donate 1000 liter water tanks to 2 schools.
100% of your donation fund a 1000 liter water tank for each of the following 2 schools:
We are committed to complete transparency and accountability.
Because we're committed to using 100% of every rupee donated to fund people in need, we rely on small optional donations from people like you to help cover our operating expenses.
By donating to our operations, you're investing in our long-term mission by helping us pay for things like credit card processing fees, supplies, staff, travelling and other operational costs.
Thanks for helping us keep the lights on!
