SCOT (Standing Committee Of Tamil Speaking people) is a registered charity in England and Wales (registration No: 274499). As a charity for the last 40 years we have been doing long term, medium term projects and crisis management at times of Natural and manmade disasters, with focus on our 3 Es concept viz Education, Employment and Empowerment.

In the recent past following 2019 Easter Sunday bomb blast and December 2019 floods in Sri Lanka, we have done crisis management projects up to £5700. Hardly without an intermission disaster has struck again in the form of Coronavirus ( COVID 19).

The needs created by COVID 19 are now and ongoing, with hunger, disruption to employment and education. Whether it will last 6 months or 12 months or more, whether the pandemic will relapse in Sri Lanka is anybodys guess. Such disasters hit the poor more. With COVID 19 and the accompanying curfew, the daily wage earners and the unemployed have no income to purchase food. Without money how can they purchase food when curfew is lifted for about 6 hours every few weeks? For these unfortunate adults hunger pangs are not unknown at the best of times, during the curfew it only gets more frequent and intense. But how can they explain the problems they face to their starving children and milk fed infants who can express their hunger by only crying? How can they rekindle their employment and settle any debts they incurred? To respond to such disasters promptly, we are desperately in need of funds. So please donate generously.

Thanks for considering this appeal. We do not take any administrative charge, all the donation you make will be used to feed the hungry, repair the shelter, improve the education of the children and place the down trodden in the employment ladder.
