Appeal for funds: floods in Sri Lanka 

After years of conflict and the tsunami of 2004, sri lankan are now the victims of devastating floods. 

Since December 2010, torrential rains swept across Sri Lanka. At the worst moment of floods nearly a million people were affected and nearly 250 kilometers of coastline flooded. 

Today, families are returned to their home. But, they often lost everything: kitchen utensils, mattresses, clothes, toys and school books ... and houses are in ruins. 

UNICEF estimates that 66,000 wells have been contaminated by flooding, leading to an increase risk of illnesses related to water.

Mostly fishermen or farmers, their livelihoods have been destroyed: fishing equipment and crops have been damaged. According to the UN, agricultural production has been severely damaged, causing increased food insecurity. The World Food Programme (WFP) estimates that about 500,000 people are victims of floods. In addition, a rise in malnutrition among children is a concern.

Many children are cut off from the school system: school supplies and furniture were damaged. 

Given the urgency faced by many inhabitants of the island, InMaLanka decided to intervene in the center of the island by distributing hygiene kits (towels, soap products ....), basic products and milk powder for children.
