Ramakrishna Mission appeal re: Sri Lanka IDPs
Due to recent eruption of violence in the eastern part of Sri Lanka , 72,000 people have been displaced from Vaharai, Sampoor and Muthur. Among the displaced 17700 are children of whom 10500 are school going. 41,500 (1160 families) people are in 61 refugee camps. The rest are in temporary shelters, under trees and with well wishers. 15,000 people are still trapped in Vaharai and undergoing immense hardships. These people are facing a major humanitarian crisis much worse than the tsunami. They have been deprived of food, proper shelter, basic medical facilities and education. Please donate generously to alleviate this humanitarian crisis.
Divisional Secretary, Manmunai North, requested Ramakrishna Mission to provide food and medical facilities to the displaced people in Manmunai area. We started the Relief Work on 25th Dec 06. We have taken up 6 refugee camps since 5th Jan 2007. We are providing breakfast, lunch and dinner for 3855 people. Estimated cost per day is about Rs.400,000/- (Approx US$ 4000). Approx LKR 116/- per head per day.
We have already treated 1500 patients in the refugee camps and are also planning to cover more camps in the future. We need Rs. 36 Million (US$ 330,000) for 3 months to do the relief work.
We will be grateful to you and all your friends who would come forward to help us to continue the relief work by contributing liberally by cash or in kind.
