The Penney Family & Team Solihull’s next ultra-challenge to raise funds for clean water wells

USA Fundraising Goal of $20,000

IMHO USA, Assist RR UK and Well-Being (Sri Lanka) will work in partnership to raise funds, identify those most in need, implement the building of water wells and deliver on their efficacy.

We will also partner with the Agricultural Faculty of Jaffna University to provide the beneficiaries with seed packages and training in optimising the growth of high yield crops for personal and livelihood benefits.

A typical shallower dug-out well currently costs about $600 and a deeper tubed borehole well costs approximately $1200.

Should individual or family donors sponsor a well in full, we will include a naming plaque and send photos in return.The Board of IMHO USA will very generously match everything you donate, up to $20,000. This paves the way for us to double our impact, if we can reach our target.Read More…..

Fundraising appeal for nutritional supplements for the school children.

As Sri Lanka descends further into its worst economic and political crisis in 70 years it is children who are suffering the most. (Forbes 07/07/2022). Nearly half of all the children in Sri Lanka require some form of humanitarian assistance, according to UNICEF’s appeal for support. Even before the current crisis, Sri Lanka had the world’s seventh highest child malnutrition rates and was second in South Asia for child wasting under the age 5. Two in five babies were not being fed the minimum acceptable diet.

What can 25 cents per day do? - Education creating hopes for the future.

What can 25 cents per day do?
If you grew up in Sri Lanka, your subconscious may remember that servant who washed your clothes in your house and helped you get ready for school, or that kid who served you tea at a restaurant or that kid who wrapped that grocery in a store.
 
Chances are that kid is from a Tea Plantation, dropped out of school and brought into your house by his/her uncle or father.
You probably didn’t realize that kid had the same dream as you. To study and have a decent job and raise a family.
2.3% of Sri Lankan children work as child laborers. That’s around 100,000 children. Majority of them are from the tea plantations. Many are abused mentally, physically and sometimes sexually at houses and shops.
Why do they become child laborers?
