About the Cause
Poor health and nutrition negatively affect children’s school attendance and ability to learn. We implement school feeding programs that look for alternative ways to ensure sustainable supply of nutritious foods to school children and young people in urban and marginalized areas.
In addition, contaminated water and poor sanitation are big factors that result in the death of children worldwide. In our programs, we always include what is called WASH which means Water, Sanitation & Hygiene. This is done through the design and construction of child-friendly and gender sensitive facilities for sanitation, such as latrines and hand-washing stations. We also provide clean water supply by building water wells and raise awareness about the importance of sanitation and hygiene.
My Story
Back in 2016 in sri Lanka we were affected by typhoon Nada, myself and my family had to go through a very rough time throughout the whole cause of the disaster, a lot of lives were taken, houses were destroyed. I have gone through this situation with my family, I don't want to see other people going through the same because I've been in their shoes, I want to restore the lives of the people that have lost their houses and give them back their happiness.
