Urgent Flood Relief Support for Affected Sri Lanka
We are a small volunteer group working on the ground to support families affected by the recent floods in Sri Lanka. Our team is coordinating with local communities to identify genuine cases and deliver essential supplies quickly, safely, and transparently.

Current Situation :
Heavy floods in areas such as Gampaha, Ratnapura, Kalutara, Matara, and Kegalle have forced hundreds of families out of their homes. Many houses have been submerged, belongings washed away, and families are currently living in temporary shelters.
Some real situations reported:
- Parents carrying children from flooded homes with only the clothes they were wearing
- Elderly people rescued without their medicine
- Children in shelters without books, bags, or proper meals
- Families spending nights in community centers with no access to clean drinking water
This campaign aims to raise USD 1500 to support these families with urgent, life-saving assistance.

Immediate 48-Hour Emergency Needs (Urgent):
- Clean drinking water
- Ready-to-eat food
- Dry rations
- Sanitary & hygiene items
- Emergency medicine
More rain is expected in some districts, increasing the urgency for quick support.

Expected Impact:
With USD 1500, we aim to support approximately:
- 25–30 families with emergency dry-ration packs
- 50+ individuals with drinking water and hygiene kits
- 10–15 elderly or disabled individuals with medical supplies
- Children with basic school items lost to the floods
This support can help families survive until the water levels drop.
