Sri Lanka Cyclone Ditwah Emergency
Heavy rain preceding Cyclone Ditwah triggered severe weather in the east and central regions of Sri Lanka including the city of Malwana and near the capital city of Colombo.聽

Lives have been claimed, many are still missing, and more than half a million are affected nationwide. Nearly 15,000 homes have been destroyed.
Please help the people of Sri Lanka today. Your contribution will provide emergency relief to those affected by Cyclone Ditwah.
Focus on Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is in the midst of the worst economic crisis in its history. Poor economic management has dragged Sri Lanka into debt, and the pandemic has only exacerbated the situation. Fuel shortages have resulted in food insecurity; hospitals are unable to support people in need; and tourism, a major source of revenue for the country, has come to a halt.聽
To add, the country relies heavily on imports. Since the country鈥檚 currency has collapsed by 80%, imports are more expensive and the country is unable to import fuel, medicine, and other essential commodities. The people of Sri Lanka are suffering, and this devastating economic threat is one that has the potential to leave a lasting impact.
