As Sri Lanka continues to face its worst economic crisis since its independence from the United Kingdom over 70 years ago with acute shortages of fuel, cooking gas, nutritious foods particularly powdered and liquid milk and other essentials, the people of this once serene island continue to struggle with the extreme hardships resulting from the devastating economic crisis which has hit almost all its twenty-two million people with children affected the most. Unable to get to school due to short supply of fuel, long hours of power outages affecting studying at home or remaining sick due to the lack of medicines and medical needs vulnerable families have become more vulnerable.
Providing one basket of essential dry rations to each of the fifty-two families served by The Sunshine Charity maybe a small step in the right direction but one that has gone a long way to ease the financial burden of these families. We thank the numerous donors for their generosity which helped achieve our immediate goal and pledge to implement follow- up initiatives.
