Tangalle Children - University students care

LET'S CARE CHILDREN BY HELPING PARENST

After Tsunami, we not only cared about the children, but also looked after some families, who were not assisted by the government or other helping organizations.

As we already know the importance of empowering the root of income, other than feeding the family for short period, we decided to help one time and long term for certain needy families in and around Tangalle. Basically we are expecting to join individual family sponsors from outside the country as well as Sri Lankans.

In the past 3 years, we have conducted and succeeded several events to support the families in such need after displacement from tsunami. Most of them are now given a courage to lead their daily life themselves.
For the moment we have selected 05 families and supporting them with a good portion of contribution for their daily carriers. In the meantime we are keenly following their activities and pushing them to engage in more activities to increase their income.

The families we are taking care of !

Home status:

01 year ago they were living in a small hut that surrounded by coconut leaves. Then a Social working organization called “Nawajeewana” has built a small house with two rooms for this family. But the house is unfortunately not finished. Only the roof and the walls are done. Then they have stopped the construction of the house and the family had to occupy the house as it is. The doors and windows are not fixed. The floor is not done. Walls are row and not done and painted.

Their unfinished house

Other details:

This family had eight children. But one of them was dead, because the child suffered from fever. Parents had not enough knowledge or ability to get that child cured. Also were not able to pay for that.

The special reason why this family should be helped:

They have got disable daughter of 9 years. She can’t speak clearly. She is studying at disable school at Tangalle. But she doesn’t go to school everyday, because the mother is too busy with other children that no one is to take her to the school. Especially mother has to take care of other tow young kids. One is a kid of Tangalle children relay Kindergarten. By the time we met this family, this child did not attend the disabled school. So we advised and encouraged the parents to send this child regularly to the school. Now this child attends her school more often.

Both parents are not educated and therefore they did not have any family planning system to corolla the children. Now it has become a huge weight for this young father to maintain this family with his small and irregular income. Around 32.00 euros a month.

General life style of this family.

They have a water supply to the house. It is a tap fixed outside the house. No bathroom. But they don’t have electricity. No bed to sleep, no table to put their book, no rack to put their clothes. They put their clothes on the box made by cardboard. They have only four plastic chairs and two ruined mats. Those are the only furniture in this family. The other steel cupboard that they had to put their clothes and other materials was sold recently in order to buy some essential medicine for one of the child. The house is not equipped with any glass or plate to treat a guest. It is like a open house or bus halt. They are unable to buy some clothes for their children even once a year.

Out side washing area.

Older children always cry for new clothes and the younger ones need good food and toys. Basically the whole family is not having any nutritious food or medicine for their health. Some times they fill their stomach once a day. TCR always help them. We collected some food and clothes for this family.

Hasindu is at our pre school. So we try to give good meal for him everyday. It has become a good support for this family to send him to our preschool.

Always these children are sick. But they have no money to get some medicine. They go to the government hospital to get medicine free of charge.

In this house, the electrical wiring system is done. The bulb holders are hanging on the roof, waiting to give light for this family since two year. No doors or windows for this house.


Bulb holders and plug tops are waiting to give light for this family

This is how they store their things.					The rough floor is the only place for the kids to do their home work.

The kitchen is only these empty pots.

What they want now:

This family has seven children. Four children go to school. Mother is house wife. So she couldn’t do a job, because she should look after her children. Their monthly budget is as follow.
