Project 01

Water & sanitation to disadvantage families

OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

To empower war affected families to sustain their livelihood through

increased local income and reduced external dependency by providing

water facilities to coconut plantations& other vegetation. Strengthening

and sustaining household income, the war affected families have an

increased opportunity to lead a more independent life. There are limited

options of sources of income for people living in rural areas in poverty.

The income must be sustainable and meet the need of the family. The

income should be based upon the skills, experience and interest of the

Person or a family member and be applicable to their physical living

environment. Income is the main reason for every development in every

family. Therefore when given a hand to get some more income, each

family will develop themselves with our support. We aim for long term

projects which will ensure long term income, such as Coconut

plantations. Well and sanitation projects will belong projects.

Project 04

Empowerment of disadvantaged women.


To implement and deliver a holistic program that aims to empower the women

politically, economically and improve their physical and mental health.

The key concerns and obstacles are social stigma, economic disadvantage, low health

resources and mental stress. The combination of these issues and obstacles has

weakened their struggle in the community. They have limited employment

opportunities, lack of education for their children, injuries caused by war and lack of

medical intervention, no mental health care and sexual harassment and abuse. Another

disadvantage for these women is their status in their community and the lack of open

communication about abuse and sexual harassment due to fear.

I did labor work to run my family. The income which I got is not enough to run my family. So I was in stress.

I couldn’t do my day by day activities also. In that time I had the big problem which was I couldn’t educate

my children.

In that time KKM-Vanni hope staff met me and they identified my problems and they wish to make my life

better. They built a well, they issued Coconut plant, Papaw plant, Lime plant, Cow and compose shed.

With this help now I am able to do my activities with my own. My children are studying well. Now I am

doing cultivation also. Now I have a faith in my life. I am getting nearly 2000/= income per month. I hope

that my income will increase in the future.

I thank everyone who helped me via KKM-Vanni hope project. I always remember you all. Specially for the

KKM staves. Who always with us and they guided us.

Thank you


I am Mrs. NagendhiranValarmadhi, I am living in Mayavanoor, Kilinochchi. I am living

with my mother and with my daughter. My daughter is studying grade 2. I done mixture

production in a small level. But the income is not enough to run my family and to

educate my daughter. My husband was disappeared during the war time.

In that time I didn’t have the facility to do my mixture production. PHI also didn’t allow

me to register my production. So I couldn’t get a proper income. I didn’t have a well

facility.

In that time KKM-Vanni hope staff met me and they made some arrangement to change

my life. They joined me in this project. Via this project they built a well for me and also

they made my home as a mixture company with all facility.

Now I am producing quality mixture and the registration is in under progress. With this

mixture company I am giving job opportunity to few people in my surrounding area. I

hope that I can develop this business in a grand scale in few years.

I thank all who supported me to do this mixture company and specialy thank all the staff.

Because they are the people who always come and gave us advices and all. I n the future

I wish to give some more job opportunities in my mixture company.

Thank you

children. three daughters and a son. I am living with my children and my mother also

living with us. My husband died in the final war. I did cultivation in a small scale. at the

same time I had a cow. I got incomes from these things. But this income is not enough to

run my family. Specially I couldn’t able to educate my children. That was the main

problem for me.

In our home there was a well. But it is not safety. Many times the well got damaged,

because of this I couldn’t do cultivation. So I faced problem in economic side. I couldn’t

able to educate my children also.

In that time KKM staves met me and they involved me in the Vanni hope project.

According to the project they built me a well and also they issued some plants. I got 50

coconut plants, 32 Lime plants and 180 passion fruit. Now I planted some sub plants in

the field.

Now I can get a little more income than before. Now my children are studying well and

they are having good mind set also. My land is very beautiful now. It gives a pleasant

look to me.

The CHILD WIN PROJECT is currently underway in three villagers such as Ponnakar, Ananthapuram and Thondamannagar. A Total of122 student’s benefit out of this program. These children express lot of enthusiasm to learn English and their learning activity needs to be properly guided. These children have lost either one of their parents and the remaining parent is unable to guide their English learning at home due to their lack of English knowledge. Apart from that their low financial condition does not allow them to travel to the city to learn English.

Ponnakar

parents are dead or seriously injured by the civil war. These parents are either affected

physically or mentally.

Children are living under the poverty line, hencethey walk to school. Schools are not in

the same place where the children live.As the schools are so far from the village,

children don’t have time for extra classes.

These parents are doing daily waged labor jobs, they return home late in the evenings.

During this time the children are left alone and their times are not usefully managed.

Though these children are with no Basic English knowledge, they do express lot of

interest to learn when opportunity is given.

The children from these villages are with very minimum English knowledge. They are

unable to properly write theEnglish alphabets or pronounce the words. Though the

parents motivatedfor their children to learn, they are unable to teach or guide them.

As we consider all three villages the children are very enthusiastic to learn through this

training project. Their parents arealso willing to do the training for their children. and

they are supporting us to continue this training..

The following aspects are identified in this English project. This will expand the

children’s ability to read, pronounce and gain Basic English knowledge. As there is a

competition element in this project the children do show more interest and involvement

in their learning activity.

Varasiththi

Vinayagar Alayam

Vara Sikthi Vinayagar temple

situated in Malayalapuram,

Kilinochchi district servicing

642 families. When

Malayalapuram village was

established at the same time

this temple was started by

this community to save their

lives from wild elephants &

other challenges forty years

ago. The village people built

this temple out of their own

money & dedicating their

man power to gradually build

this temple in 2007, amongst

various challenges,

displacements & war. The people of the village relieved their stress & worries through this temple

worship during hard times & war. In 2007 the whole village was displaced & moved towards

Mulivaikal by the end of war. During this final displacement 292 village people died due to the war

between 2007 & 2009, during this time the temple was totally destructed. Then village people

returned to Malayalapuram through IDP camps & resettlement processes in 2010. Since 2010 to

until now Malayalapuram village is gradually developing & rising itself to its former glory. Between

2013 to 2015 seven suicides have taken place.

The temple worship is most important to post war community for stress relief & resettlement. KKM

Vanni hope promoted the village people to rebuild their own temple. To support the rebuilding &

construction work, KKM Vanni Hope will contribute nearly 3 million Sri Lankan rupees from its

sponsors The village people are contributing whatever they can from their modest savings. We are

expecting the temple to be completed by April, & Kumbabisegam will be held in April.

KKM Vanni Hope believes stress relief is most important to post war community & to rebuild their

personal lives. The spiritual promotion is most needed to achieve our goal & objectives. The temple

will be a place for fellowship & social interaction within the community.
