Call to Action: War-torn families escape and ask for help

The civil war in Sri Lanka is coming to a climax, trapping as many as 100,000 people in the cross-fire. You’ve probably seen it in the media.

Only half have escaped so far, and according to the United Nations, many more remain trapped, looking to escape. With newly escaped groups likely to reach safe districts in as soon as 48 hours (according to UN reports), your support is needed most urgently!

Outreach International benefits over 150,000 people in communities in Sri Lanka. We are already on the ground and ready to help the displaced victims forced to flee south from livelihoods, homes and families as the conflict intensifies.

Outreach International needs your support to help the refugees that will soon arrive in our communities, desperately hoping for assistance. 

They need help and they need it right away.

Harishke Samaranayake, a member of our Sri Lankan team commented, “Water and sanitation is one of the biggest issues here.” An International Red Cross spokeswoman also said recently, “The humanitarian conditions in the conflict area are very grim.” The next 48 hours are critical to meet the needs of displaced families.

Please help the displaced families seeking refuge, safety and security by sending your donation today.

Our Sri Lankan team has already started collecting dry food and health care items, ensuring that food supplies, clean water and sanitation are supplied for the refugees. Sadly, the needs of women and children are especially great.

Please donate. A gift of $25 or more will help victims not only today in our relief effort, but also in the long term commitment of Sustainable Good around the world.

Thank you for sending immediate assistance to the families in Sri Lanka.


Sincerely,
Matthew C. Naylor, President
Outreach International
