Sri Lanka Flood Relief 2025: Rebuild

From Emergency Relief to Rebuilding Lives

As we conclude the emergency relief phase of our response to the floods in Sri Lanka, we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who stood with us during this critical time. Your generosity and compassion made an immediate impact, enabling us to transfer essential funds to the Government of Sri Lanka to support displaced families and help meet urgent needs on the ground. But recovery does not end with relief.

We are now entering the next chapter of our mission — the Rebuilding & Recovery of lives impacted by floods. This phase focuses on long-term healing: restoring livelihoods, rebuilding homes, strengthening infrastructure, and empowering communities to move forward with dignity and resilience. Fundraising will continue as we shift toward sustainable recovery. Every contribution made now goes directly toward a dedicated rebuilding project where help is urgently needed — not just to repair what was lost, but to create a stronger future. Together, we can turn relief into recovery, and loss into opportunity. Thank you for standing with Sri Lanka — not just in crisis, but in its journey toward renewal.

Your gift goes further: Gift Sri Lanka covers all administrative and transfer costs.
