"Water & Life"

I am Mathiyakala living with my family in Savukkadi Batticaloa, living in a temporary house. We couldn’t afford the basic amenities, and using the forest bushes and fields for our nature calls. Which was a high risk of infection and we were losing our dignity, as my husband was working as a watchman for a private farm earning a bare income. I was diagnosed with Leprosy,

Our one and only child teenage daughter was living with her grandparents to save her dignity and health hygiene, due to the challenges of living without a toilet at home.

A visit from KKM, transformed our life, building a safety and clean toilet in our land. Today our daughter is back home and we are a happy family living together. We thank TLMEW and KKM for all their love and care.

"from the HUT to SHELDER"

The Housing Project stands as a testament to this commitment. More than bricks and mortar, it symbolizes the cornerstone of stability, dignity, and a brighter future for those who have faced the harsh realities of inadequate shelter. Through this initiative, we not only provide safe housing but aim to empower individuals to rebuild their lives. It’s a project where every foundation laid is a step toward breaking the cycle of vulnerability, offering a sanctuary for self-discovery, resilience, and lasting change. I am L. Prabha from Eheliyagoda estate, my family endured years without a proper shelter. We hailed from line houses and soon after the marriage we went as refuge near the bend of a main road. For a decade, we had to share all the happiness and sadness in the small hut. However, with the small ray of hope our life in the hut changed.

Since my daughter was able to get good grades in Scholarship exams the Principal of Eheliyagoda, recognizing our burden, informed

our situation to Kaveri Kala Manram. With determination, the estate manager provided a piece of land. Despite financial constraints a samaritan family generouslyhonoring departed relatives. The Kaveri Kala Manram initiated the project, ensuring a brighter future for my family. The new house, complete with a toilet and water facility, symbolizes not just shelter but an escape from vulnerability. Though the old house still stands, we now enjoy safety and ownership. No longer at the mercy of passing vehicles, we have a haven to call our own, a testament to resilience and the power of community support. I am L Prabha, and this is our story of triumph against adversity.
