Sri Lanka Emergency & Livelihoods Appeal
As-Salaam Foundation is preparing a humanitarian deployment to Sri Lanka between 29th March and 7th April 2026, where two team members, including our trustee Gohar Khan, will personally oversee and distribute potentially life-saving aid to some of the most vulnerable communities.
Sri Lanka continues to face severe economic hardship. Rising living costs, food insecurity, lack of clean water, school dropouts, limited healthcare access, and loss of livelihoods have left thousands of families struggling to survive with dignity.
The Project
This appeal will deliver essential food packs and cooked meals to families facing hunger, provide access to clean drinking water through hand pumps and water tanks, and support children with back-to-school packs and bicycles to prevent school dropouts. Medical camps and mobility aids will support elderly and disabled individuals who currently lack access to basic healthcare, while livelihood support such as sewing machines for women and fishing boats for coastal workers will help families rebuild sustainable sources of income.
What We Aim to Deliver
Food Aid
-
500 food packs for struggling families
-
500 freshly cooked meals for immediate relief
These will support families facing hunger due to unemployment and soaring food prices.
Water & Sanitation
-
5 hand pumps providing clean, safe drinking water
-
20 water tanks / well supports for households and community use
Access to clean water remains a daily challenge for many rural communities.
Education Support

Poverty should never be the reason a child is denied an education.

These interventions restore dignity, mobility, and access to basic healthcare.

This support helps families regain income, independence, and long-term stability.
