A note from our Director

Dear friends and supporters,

Nearly a year after Cyclone Ditwah, families across Trincomalee District are rebuilding, and you are standing beside them. This year we put children back in classrooms, food on tables and income back in the hands of families who lost everything.

None of it happens alone. Every donor, volunteer, partner and community member in this newsletter is part of the work. Thank you.

Imran
Founder and Director, People's Hands Organization

Stories from the field

Back to school in Kuchchaveli

Forty-five students at T/Mohamadiya Vidyalayam started the school year with the supplies they need to learn, thanks to our donor Amandine from France.

Livelihoods restored after Cyclone Ditwah

Our Livelihood Restoration Project helps cyclone-affected families rebuild the work that feeds their households. A new report documents what the project has achieved so far.

Food packs for Ramadan

Our Ramadan Food Pack Distribution brought essential food to families who needed it most during the holy month. The full report is now available.

Power for homes and learning

Our New Electricity Connection Project is bringing safe, reliable electricity to households, with benefits for study, safety and daily life.

What we are building next

Several new projects are in development and we are looking for partners to bring them to life:

• Orphan education: support for 500 children with schooling, supplies and mentoring.
• BlueGuard Trincomalee: protecting our coastline from marine plastic waste and restoring habitat.
• Mangrove restoration: replanting mangroves to protect coastal communities and wildlife.
• Women's leadership in Kuchchaveli: a peacebuilding and climate resilience initiative for 30 women.
