SATVA FUND SRI LANKA

Nourishing Communities and Fostering Togetherness through Food Security in Sri Lanka

Food security is a major challenge in Sri Lanka with access to consistent, safe and nutritious food being beyond the reach of an increasing number of Sri Lankans. Providing meals to those Sri Lankans in need remains one of the key priorities of the Satva Fund. While food is essential for every Sri Lankan to survive and thrive, the opportunity for the Satva Fund to provide this basic need is also a way to foster togetherness in a group and celebrate community.
