Rose Charities Emergency Relief in Sri Lanka

Rose Charities Sri Lanka is working with the Sri Lanka organization, 'SEED' to get supplies to the 20,000 refugees in a camp in Tricomalee. Their focus is on children, pregnant women and old people. Rose Charities is supplying transportation and has purchased milk powder, baby panadol, biscuits, daipers, baby bottles, clothes for pregnant women and baby clothes and other necessities. The supplies are purchased in Columbo and are being transported to the camps. UN and other agencies are overwhelmed with the demand with up to 300,000 displaced people...so have asked local charities to help.AMDA HQ Japan, Rose Charities and AMDA Canada are supporting the efforts of Rose Charities Sri Lanka by sending funds.

Any donations of cash given to Rose Charities will guarantee to be spent directly on supplies to the refugees. Please see www.RoseCharities.org for donation details.
