Disaster Relief
We Provide Food, Shelter and Medical Services as Well as Providing Emergency Relief Assistance to the Affected People During Disasters and Crises.
Sri Lanka is well-known for natural disasters and is regularly experiencing floods, and storms which create havoc and destruction ruining many people’s livelihood, homes, and businesses. Furthermore, it also injures many at the same time. For the already poor and needy it becomes unbearable and they do not know where to turn. It is at
these times that the generous donors come to their aid, and AAID Sri Lanka respond to these disasters and emergencies through your kind donations and distribute support for the most affected with food, non-food items, repair houses and also provide temporary shelter
We immediately respond to communities impacted by natural disasters by engaging volunteers, partners and local communities to help families rebuild homes and schools by engaging in activities like “mucking and gutting” after a flood, “rabbling” after an earthquake, or safe demolition to remove dangerous structures. We begin by carefully listening to the community to identify its greatest needs, and only then, create a long-term action plan, executed with speed and real-time problem-solving.
Where needed, we make a long-term commitment and engage our trained volunteers to work with the community to rebuild disaster-resilient homes, schools, daycare facilities and community centers – the hubs of every community. By providing a free and open door for every volunteer around the globe, (as well as cutting-edge training), we transform the good hearts and willing hands of our volunteers into a powerful team that can jump in and create an immediate impact in disaster-affected areas.
We bring our hard-won expertise and experience to help communities put the pieces back together, rising even stronger in the face of devastation. By laying out and constructing disaster-resilient buildings to code, we ensure they are stronger and more resilient in the face of future disasters, in turn preserving the future which we are rebuilding for the community. We live in the communities where we serve and become a part of them. As we do, our volunteers uncover new ways to help, which invariably brings new ideas and creative solutions. We encourage our volunteers to follow through on these ideas where feasible.
