Cyclone Ditwah brought severe flooding to Sri Lanka at the end of November 2025. Through the DreamSpace Foundation, we ran relief across the East and North into December.
The relief was paid for by donations from many people: individual supporters, our own staff and others who answered the appeal.
The relief included dry rations and meals, drinking water, medical camps, hygiene items, mosquito nets, baby food, clothes, mats and bedsheets.
Where the relief went, from 30 November to 8 December:
- Kathiraveli: on 30 November, 32 displaced Vedda families originally from Kallarippu received dry food and mosquito nets. On 3 December 63 families came to a medical camp and activities for children.
- Poovarasan Theevu and Samaajan Theevu, Trincomalee: on 1 December 60 families received dry food, hygiene products and medicines.
- Maritimepattu, Mullaitivu: more than 100 families received food, medical and hygiene support by 4 December.
- Kunchaankulam, Vakarai: on 5 December more than 70 families received dry rations and a medical camp.
- Vattappalai, Mullaitivu: 38 families received food, medical and hygiene support.
- Mulliyawalai, Mullaitivu: 32 families received help.
- Muthur: more than 400 families received meals and drinking water.
- Kumulamunai centre, Mullaitivu: more than 30 families received help.
Each number is for one place.
We organised the relief together with our local partners, many of whom we have worked with for years, and reached flood-hit families in Batticaloa, Trincomalee and Mullaitivu.
