Food Security during financial crisis in Sri Lanka

Dear Supporter,

We appreciate your generosity, kindness, and assistance with the Street Child's Food Security program in Sri Lanka. An update on the project’s progress is something we are happy to share.

• The proposed food security program to address the financial crisis in Sri Lanka has gradually begun with discussions at the regional health level, involving the Deputy Director of the Health Department, followed by divisional-level discussions on child malnutrition status and household food intake to prevent diseases and ensure regular school attendance.
• A required questionnaire has been developed and designed using the KOBO tool, and volunteers have been trained to conduct household surveys.
• The household survey has been completed with 100 randomly selected families across Trincomalee, Mullaitivu and Batticaloa districts, as suggested by the Medical Officers of Maternal and Child Health (MOMCHs) and Public Health Midwives (PHMs)in the respective required areas.

Street Child Sri Lanka is eagerly awaiting the necessary funds to support the remaining project activities aimed at addressing the ongoing food security issues in Sri Lanka.
