Sri Lanka Floods Crisis Appeal

Sri Lanka is facing a major humanitarian crisis after Cyclone Ditwah caused severe flooding, landslides, and widespread destruction.
More than 998,000 people have been affected. Homes, roads, and livelihoods have collapsed, and hundreds of thousands are now
displaced across all districts.

Families are struggling to access food, clean water, and basic support. Shelters are overcrowded, and many areas remain cut off.
Food insecurity is rising, with more than 1.5 million people at risk.

Emergency Food Packs for Families in Need

Global Helping Hands is providing Emergency Dry Ration Packs for families in urgent need. Each pack contains essential food items
including rice, flour, sugar, dhall, cooking oil, tea, noodles, biscuits, lentils, soya meat, eggs, and other staple goods.

These packs support displaced families, those in relief centres, and households severely damaged by the cyclone.
Initial distributions will take place in Chilaw, one of the hardest-hit regions.

Your Support Makes a Difference

A £30 donation provides a complete food pack for a family struggling through this crisis.
Your support brings relief, dignity, and hope to people who have lost everything.
