The Crisis in Matale

Heavy rains and catastrophic earthslips have isolated communities in Laggala and Wilgamuwa. Families have fled to temples and schools (Safe Centers) with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

As Faith Ministry of Christ, we are called to stand in the gap. Our teams are on the ground, coordinating with local authorities to ensure every dollar you give reaches the most vulnerable—providing food, warmth, and shelter.

“Serve one another with whatever gift you have received to be good stewards of God’s varied grace.”
– 1 Peter 4:10
