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.

Disaster Management

   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.
