How you can join us

Unfortunately, most of the people in Sri Lanka are not in a position to donate to these community kitchens affected by the economic crisis without discrimination. Otherwise, a much more generous nation is faced with a survival struggle today, yet we receive a lot of help and donations within the country, more than we can expect.

As a start, our goal is to provide a balanced nutritious meal per day in each kitchen for roughly 50 to 75 children. Considering the daily rising food prices, we have an estimated 250 rupees for a single meal excluding the few vegetables and other ingredients the community can muster on their own.

For one community kitchen to provide one meal for a day can cost approximately 13,000 Sri Lankan rupees to 19,000 depending on how many children are in that particular community.

Dry food, basic kitchen equipment or any small contribution to our fund would give us a chance to fight for these children. Write us an email or contact any of our activists below to join hands with us.

We will be updating the blog with stories filled with many happy smiles. We respect your love and effort to help us. The distribution and usage of funds will be displayed here with much transparency assuring that your help will reach the children in need.

Please share our story as much as you can so another kind soul can give us a helping hand. Follow our diary for daily updates. Add a comment to share your ideas and support for us to better this operation.

About

Our journey begins after The Ceylon youth movement receive a call for help through one of the activists in Matara Pasgoda Kirilipana estate. A small group of activists from Ceylon youth movement decide to take action after listening to this story with the determination, we will not let them die without food. Ceylon Community Kitchen was born with this beautiful idea of providing a meal for the whole community where a family cannot prepare a whole meal alone at home. By shearing all the ingredients and fire wood with the help of our activists they were able to feed those starving kids, working as a community, a team in one big kitchen.
