February 1, 2020Visiting the Sri Lankan Projects

These Self-Help Groups also participate in community activities such as cleaning, providing tea services for hospitals, and working together with the Child Protection Committees to support and supervise children’s activities. Each village has a Children’s Club where the children meet once a week to play and learn. The Children’s Clubs have also been registered with the Government, which means they have access to regular Child Rights awareness sessions by the Child Rights Officer. Alongside these great successes of the project, INLK as an organisation continues to learn and grow, and so does INA! The capacity assessment process we went through was a great opportunity to review the progress INLK has made over the past three years, as well as to identify areas for further strengthening and growth as they strive for continual improvement and effectiveness as an organization.
“In the name of God the Almighty, I wish you peace! “…My new appointment as the CEO of International Needs Lanka network would allow me to be close to (the) needy to support them to achieve their life objectives with women empowerment projects, child protection projects and young and adult empowerment interventions. “If I can cry and smile with my brother and sister who is in need and to share the good Lord’s teachings in order to make them strong to follow him and make his believers for happy and better livelihood.” We at INA are also excited to continue on this journey with INLK and the communities involved in our work together, and I hope you will continue to walk with us too!
