The current #EconomicCrisis in #lka will push a lot of vulnerable communities towards more significant challenges. Sri Lanka Red Cross Society is in the process of surveying how many will fall into the most vulnerable category. At this 11th hour, we need to unify to face this challenge. IFRC

SL’s vulnerable community is growing at an alarming rate. The #LKA Government, business community, private sector along with all actors in our financial sector should come together to address economic issues. Solutions we seek must ensure that we do not repeat the same mistakes.

Farmers in Kurunegala, Sri Lanka, working with Sri Lanka Red Cross and @IFRC have boosted their incomes by planting mung and black-eyed beans. The cash assistance for struggling families is mostly going towards food, utilities, health, transportation costs, and debt repayment.
