Aiding Children in Need
With the potential for major advances in Sri Lanka’s peace process negligible in the current climate, the Appeal and our affiliate Peace Appeal South Asia (“PASA”) are undertaking humanitarian projects to assist those left most vulnerable by the war, children in need.
As of 2005, there were only 255 officially recognized homes for children in the records of Sri Lanka’s National Child Protection Agency, hough dozens if not hundreds of other facilities exist to meet the needs of children. These homes offer hope to only a fraction of children left homeless nd vulnerable. Extended families provide the security, such as it is, for the vast majority of homeless children, and the streets swallow the rest.
