Ampara Community Empowerment Project |
The goal of our project is to empower
tsunami-affected families in Sri Lanka to address their
needs through integrated community development and rehabilitation
activities.
ACE is working with tsunami–affected
families in permanent housing schemes in the Pottuvil Division,
Ampara District in order to improve their living conditions
through providing greater access to basic potable water
and better quality basic housing and community infrastructure,
developing community engagement mechanisms, improving daily
health and sanitation practices and encouraging favorable
co-existence among tsunami-affected families and their neighboring
communities. |

We conducted a community meeting in the
Muslim community of Pakiyawathai, which is one of the GN divisions
in Pottuvil. Nearly 37 mothers participated in this meeting.
Our donors from Australia and New Zealand, Country Director,
Program Director, Health department and Hearth staff were present
that meeting. We began the meeting by explaining our project
and we then we asked for the opinions and experiences.

The local area experienced severe flooding
in early January, following torrential rains of several days.
The Divisional Secretariat (DS) estimated that 7,000 families
(33,000 people) experienced flooding in their homes. ADRA’s
two projects in the area, ACE and HEARTH, joined together to
assist in the response efforts. This included providing cooked
food for two days for around 1,100 families and then distributing
dry rations a few days later as the waters started to subside.It
was a successful response and resulted in warm appreciation
to ADRA from both the local community and government. It was
also a great opportunity for our team to test our own emergency
response plans.
