STORY ABOUT US
STORY OF CORVID 19 IN SRI LANKA
At the commencement of the spreading of corvid- 19 virus in Sri Lanka, the government has imposed the curfew for many districts and some locations to restrict the movement of the public. The majority of the public are helpless with an inadequate supply or stocks of daily essentials for their families. Prolong curfew for many locations and locked down of some villages create limited or no access to the daily essentials of families. Sri Lankan government and other institutions are in the process to overcome this situation by supplying some dry rations for the affected families in different areas. But still the underserved families are more than the served with food supply. Most vulnerability is existed in the sector of agriculture, self-employment, the daily earners and SMEs of the community.
