The situation now in Sri Lanka is desperate for local people. Supplies of petrol and diesel have dried up, so practically all transport and commerce have stopped. LPG gas for cooking has also run out. Power cuts are worsening. Supplies of medication are failing and basic food – rice, bread, vegetables etc – though still available, are at sky-high prices… well beyond the reach of many. The result is grim for the poor.

At Rangala House, we are in a good position to offer help – at least for the villagers in our area (we are situated in the mountains above Kandy). While many ad hoc charitable organisations are also offering help, Food Banks as such are unknown here. We have set up a system to distribute food parcels to families in the surrounding villages who are now destitute. Each parcel contains rice, dhal, gram, dried fish, tinned foods and other essentials.

PLEASE, WE NEED YOUR HELP!
