Qatar Charity Distributes Kitchen Kits to 560 Sri Lankan Families Affected by Cyclone Ditwah Floods

WHY IT MATTERS

The aid restores basic household functions for flood‑displaced families, supporting recovery and stability in a vulnerable region.

What happened

Qatar Charity (QC) has delivered kitchen kits and essential household items to 560 families in four administrative divisions of Puttalam District, Sri Lanka, as part of its response to Cyclone Ditwah and the resulting floods. The project, funded by benefactors in Qatar at a cost of QR 266,575, aims to help low‑income families regain daily routines after losing belongings to flood damage. 360 families whose homes were completely destroyed received kits. QC’s earlier relief included 1,800 food baskets and equipment—boat engines, generators, and water pumps—to support search‑and‑rescue operations for the Sri Lanka Disaster Management Centre. Beneficiaries expressed gratitude, noting the kits’ value in restoring household stability.
