In Sri Lanka, “3.9 million individuals grapple with moderate food insecurity, while over 10,000 households confront severe food shortages. Compounding this crisis, more than 2.9 million children urgently require humanitarian aid to access vital nutrition, healthcare, education, clean water and sanitation, security, and social protection services,” according to a 2023 UNICEF report. In response to this critical situation, a project with BGR partner the Shraddha Charity Organization is providing daily nutrition-fortified lunches to schoolchildren in the impoverished Seruwila Maha Vidyalaya village. This project will feed approximately 300 children and 20 staff members for three months, providing the children with much-needed nutrients and energy to focus on their studies and giving them a path out of generational poverty.
