Project Name: Shoe Donation for School Children affected by Ditwah Sully cyclone
Donated Items: 43 pairs of Shoes and Water
Date of Donation: 2025-12-25
Donation Amount: 185,000 LKR (~$818 CAD)
* CAD is based on exchange rate at the time of donation
Location: Webadagamma Village, Dehiattakandiya Divisional Secretariat Division, Ampara District
Description:
The Kalyana Mitta movement supported school children in Webadagamma Village who were displaced by the Ditwah Sully cyclone and flooding. The floods damaged or washed away many families’ belongings, and several children were left without proper shoes making it difficult (and sometimes unsafe) for them to return to school.
In response to a request from the affected families, we distributed shoes and drinking water so the children could get back to class with greater comfort, safety, and dignity. This project reflects our commitment to being a “good friend to humanity” by helping communities in Sri Lanka with practical support that reduces day-to-day hardship and helps children continue their education.

"Good afternoon. The service you have provided by coming to our area is a great honor to the people here. Even our belongings and properties were completely destroyed and submerged. We didn't even have clothes or shoes left" Disclosure: This is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) assisted translation from Sinhala to English. It is a close approximation, but may not be exact
