What happens when you’re not climate-smart? Crops fail, soil degrades, water becomes hard to find and farming becomes a daily struggle .

The Mihikatha Lanka project funded by Global Affairs Canada, is on a mission to change that by building a new generation of climate-smart farmers.

The goal is to develop 100 farmers in Rideemaliyadda and Welikanda to act as role models who will go on to inspire and support 2,500 more farmers in their communities.

The first phase of training has already kicked off, with 50 farmers participating in hands-on sessions at the Regional Agriculture Research and Development Centre in Aralaganwila and the Central Tuber Crops Research Institute in Hansayapalama.

What they’ve learned so far-
⚫️How to improve soil health and understand soil types
⚫️How to manage water in a changing climate
⚫️How to farm sustainably through pest management
⚫️How to make use of small nutrients
⚫️Identifying and managing crop diseases to protect yields
⚫️How to to maximize land use

These farmers are continuously supported and monitored to strengthen both their knowledge and technical skills.

Through this approach, the project is creating a community of farmers who can adapt to climate change!

Nirvaan has five more years before starting school, but he is already supporting the education of other children.

In celebration of his first birthday, his parents Devinda and Githma donated to renovate the science lab for the 230 students of Shashthraloka Vidyalaya, Wattala, through the Shiksha/Kalvi campaign. They also provided learning material for the lab.

Devinda and Githma, thank you for your generosity and for your heart for under-resourced schools.

Nirvaan, we wish you a most blessed life ahead!

Every morning in Bibile, some children start their day not with books and pens but walking with pots and buckets, because without clean water families can’t start their day.

When the children of the Lak Kekulu Children’s Society, came together to plan their first Community Service Learning Project, they began by looking at the issues that affected their community. And one stood out - the daily struggle for safe drinking water, especially for families in the Tamil estate community.

“Before this project was implemented, children used to come to my house to fetch water from our tap,” shared Nimashi Kaushalya (26). “However, there were times they had to return empty-handed when the water motor was not working or when there was no water available.”

The children identified the problem, planned their solution, and with guidance from World Vision staff, developed a project proposal.

As their first project, they faced challenges, from limited technical knowledge to difficulties coordinating with different stakeholders. But they kept going.

The club was involved in every step of the process, identified critical issue in their community, discussing possible solutions and designing a project to address the problem. They developed a clear project proposal outlining their goals. They then engaged with community members to validate the need and build support, while also reaching out to estate management to secure the necessary permissions.

Looking back on the project Nilukshi (16) shared, “We had to have discussions with the Estate Management and with government officers to start the work, at first we were nervous, but they supported us.”

Working collaboratively, the children coordinated with partners and stakeholders, including World Vision Lanka and the Foundation of Goodness, to mobilize resources and technical support. They took an active role in clearing the land for the construction of the well. Throughout the process, they remained closely involved.



With support from World Vision, the Foundation of Goodness, and their community, a well was constructed and a piped water system was set up which now serves 10 households, with 5 more to come. The children helped clear the land and participated in different stages of the construction process.

“Now we don’t need to walk to fetch water, it comes directly to our home.” Shared Shreetharan (11) “Now I spend most of my time that I spent fetching water, on studying and playing with my friends.”

Recently, two special visitors took a canoe ride across a lagoon to meet fisherwomen and hear their stories.

Australian High Commissioner Matthew Duckworth and Second Secretary Matthew Lord, along with representatives from the Department of Foreign Affairs, visited Nadukudiyirippu in Batticaloa. This is a lagoon side village where over 500 people depend on fishing, including 135 women and 5 persons with disabilities.

The women fisherwomen rowed the visitors across the lagoon to their fishing areas. The visitors saw how they fish every day and even tried some of the activities themselves. They were able to learn directly from the women about their work and challenges.

The group also joined a community discussion where individuals shared how the EMPOWER Project has helped them, especially through women’s groups, savings groups, and training programmes. They spoke about how these activities have improved their lives and built their confidence.

The EMPOWER Project is a 5-year initiative funded by the Australian Government through the Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP)to empower vulnerable women, youth, and minorities through sustainable, climate-smart aquaculture.

A school where access to clean water is limited, both teaching and learning become far more challenging for students and educators alike.

Without reliable access to safe drinking water, students are less active in sports and outdoor activities.

When clean water is unavailable, students tend to drink less water throughout the day.

Dehydration and thirst can reduce concentration, making it harder for students to stay engaged and achieve their full academic potential.

Students with consistent access to clean drinking water are healthier, more focused, and better equipped to succeed in the classroom.

The newly installed water purification system at Kaddumurivukkulam School is a meaningful investment in creating a healthier and more supportive learning environment for 185 students. A big thank you Korea and 월드비전 World Vision Korea for this very meaningful gift!
