During the economic crisis that impacted Sri Lanka between 2022 and 2023, we connected with a social service programme called Drops of Light to provide dry rations , school supplies and health care to individuals left particularly vulnerable to the economic situation.
Between December 2022 and January 2023, Humanity Unearthed used 100% of funds raised to Drops of Light to provide 50 families with dry rations packs ,worth Rs. 5,000 in the Medagama and Sewanagala districts in Monaragala.
In January 2023, given the escalating prices of educational/school materials such as books, bags and shoes, many schooling children especially from underprivileged backgrounds were finding it extremely difficult to access these materials. In response to this call, Humanity Unearthed used 100% of funds raised to provide stationary packs to Drops of Light to distribute to 150 school children in Monaragala (Bakinigahawela) and Matara (Athuraliya, Mulatiyana and Welipitiya) with stationary packs.
Finally, in January 2023, Humanity Unearthed was also able to provide continuous health care assistance for 10 families for a period of 6 months. Our heartfelt thanks to the team at Drops of Light for all your efforts on the ground to make all of this possible.
