Tsunami disaster relief work
MNSLFF made a contribution of $9085.90 on the 13th of January 2005 to
Society for the Upliftment and Conservation of Cultural Economical and
Social Standards for immediate tsunami disaster relief work.
SUCCESS Colombo is a registered charity social organization devoted to help
poor and needy people of SriLanka. The services of this organization are
extended to all people, without any discrimination on ethnicity, religion or
any other differences. Established in 1993 this organization has been
engaged in humanitarian work in most of the parts in Sri Lanka. Services
included help with construction of homes, nurseries, agricultural wells,
providing agricultural equipment, and helping in self-employment projects
for men and women. They also provided food and clothing, books and
educational items for the needy. Conduct free medical camps in various parts
of the country.
After the tsunami disaster organization directed all their efforts towards
affected areas in the coastal region. A Medical team was involved in
providing emergency medical relief for the survivors. They distributed
clothes, dry rations, milk, medicines and food. Also they were distributing
kitchen equipment such as pots and pans and other utensils. SUCCESS Colombo
is continuing their assistance to tsunami survivors until there is some
improvement in the life style of the displaced persons. SUCCESS Colombo is
also planning to build some houses for the survivors who lost their homes.
