ඔබත් දිත්වා සුළි කුණාටුවෙන් බලපෑමට ලක්වුණාද? ඔබට රජයෙන් ලැබෙන සහන සහ ඒවා ලබාගන්න ආකාරය මෙහෙමයි. #StaySafe #SriLanka #CycloneDitwah #WorldVisionLanka #Lka

That is why, we rolled out assistance in partnership with HOPE and Selyn foundation, to implement a project funded by @AusHPship through @dfat to support cyclone-affected households in these 2 areas by addressing urgent needs in food security, nutrition, WASH and livelihoods.

As Cyclone Ditwah impacted communities across Sri Lanka, we mobilised support in some of the hardest-hit areas. In Koralaipattu, families faced severe flooding and displacement and in Mutur houses were submerged, forcing evacuations.

In Walapane, our teams distributed household hygiene kits to 320 families in Suriyagahapathana, Ambaliyadda, Galkadapathana, and Mahauva. Helping them clean and restore their homes after Cyclone Ditwah. #FloodUpdate #StaySafe #Srilanka

Several villages were forced to evacuate to safe centres in Welikanda. Our team is coordinating with government authorities to provide #hygienekits to the affected families. Here is an update from Muthugala #SafeCentre where 153 families are sheltered in a primary school.

In Thaddumunai, Batticaloa, reps from @AusHCSriLanka met women fisherfolk from women-headed households to those living with disabilities, all using local knowledge, traditional tools & innovative support to build climate-smart livelihoods. #EMPOWER #WorldVision #SriLanka

Kalpitiya has had ENOUGH! Enough of wasted food. Enough of malnutrition. Enough of unchecked school meals & canteens. With World Vision, over 1,700 children and adults took action together. No child should go hungry, no meal should go to waste. #EndChildHunger #ENOUGH

The children also painted inspiring murals on the walls, with crucial messages about climate change and protecting the environment. With community support and the Divisional Secretariat of Kalpitiya, the library begins a new chapter of hope. #WorldVision

Look at these children, trying to renovate a village library that belongs to them. 💚 For nearly a decade, the building had been falling apart, taken over by weeds and even animals. Now, with care and hard work, it has been brought back to life. #Community #WorldVision

Humanitarian work isn’t just one day. It’s every step, every journey, every person we meet along the way. 🌍 It’s listening to communities, standing with children, and walking the less-travelled paths together every single day. 💛 #WorldHumanitarianDay #WorldVision #LKA

#Plasticpollution is a serious threat to our health, farms, and climate. In Rideemaliyadda, women farmers and community groups supported by the #MihikathaLanka (මිහිකත ලංකා/பூமிப்பெண்) project stepped up — leading powerful activities to raise awareness and drive change. 1/2
