The Samaritans in Sri Lanka

23/01/2026

The students of Elizabeth Moir volunteered with to spend sometime at Harward College in Dam Street.

They played cricket, decorated cookies, made bead chains.. it was such a lovely experience. A massive thank you to the teachers and students of Elizabeth Moir Senior School for truly going out of your way to make this a rewarding experience for their little kids.

Your gifts of school bags, bottles, lunch boxes and vouchers for school schools, not to mention the lunch packs and snacks, and of course the love and camaraderie shared between the children are truly appreciated and will not be forgotten.

The Samaritans continued their relief efforts for communities affected by the recent floods and cyclone, this time reaching Meegoda, Kolonnawa. We distributed dry-ration packs to families who were severely impacted by the disaster. In addition, 50 maternity packs were provided to pregnant women in need.

All recipients were carefully assessed to ensure that assistance reached those who were most affected.

None of this would be possible without the continued support of our donors, who have shown unwavering faith and trust in us over the years.

Thank you for standing with us.

During these challenging weeks of floods and cyclone recovery, the Samaritans have been working tirelessly to help affected families. Yet even in the midst of this crisis, our hearts have remained with the special needs children who depend on our support.

This season, we were grateful to once again provide dry-ration packs and lunch to 30 wonderful children and the amazing staff who devote themselves to their care. We will continue to walk beside them and support their needs in every way we can.

The Samaritans began distributing dry-ration packs in some of Colombo’s areas most severely affected by the recent floods. Welawatte and Wellampitiya—densely populated neighborhoods—were hit particularly hard, with floodwaters rising over five feet and destroying homes, belongings, and essential household items. Many families now have nothing left. As most residents are daily-wage earners, this disaster has created an immense hardship for them.

To ensure fairness and reach those most in need, our teams carried out a house-to-house distribution of ration packs.
