There are large number of widowed families in Maruthankernikulam in Vaharai of Batticaloa District. In this area drinking water is scarce and cultivation of food crops is not possible due to unavailability of wells for irrigation. Therefore for livelihood activities, ten families were selected for supply of goats rearing to eight families and sewing machines to two families under an interest free revolving loan scheme of Rs.30,000/- for each of the family.
On the 29th of August 2018 Office Bearers of Hindu Council Of Sri Lanka visited Maruthankernikulam and after a meeting of the beneficiaries held at Maruthankernikulam G.T.M. School arranged by our coordinator in Vaharai who is the Principal of the School, the items were handed over to the widows.
