CEYLON PEARLS - SRI LANKA Mission Statement
The aim of Ceylon Pearls is to save lives by combating hunger, diseases, and those crises threatening the lives of helpless men, women and children.
Ceylon Pearls intervenes in the following situations:
• In natural or man-made disasters which threaten food security or result in famine,
• In situations of social/economic breakdown, linked to internal or external circumstances which place particular groups of people in extremely vulnerable positions,
• In situations where survival depends on humanitarian aid.
Ceylon Pearls brings assistance either during the crisis itself through emergency intervention, or afterwards through rehabilitation and sustainable development programmes.
Its activities include the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of malnutrition and food security, agriculture and water and sanitation programmes.
The ultimate goal of all Ceylon Pearls's programmes is to enable beneficiaries to regain their autonomy and self-sufficiency as soon as possible.
As part of its commitment to fight hunger, Ceylon Pearls is constantly raising public awareness on the hunger issue, reminding decision makers of their responsibility to address it, campaigning on the real causes of the persistence of hunger and making the voices of the victims of hunger heard.
Project believes in the power of unity and calls for all Sri Lankan to unite by working to address issues such as war orphans, and Tsunami devastation. Along with raising awareness, Ceylon Pearls aim to give all Sri Lankan a chance to be proud of their nationality and to work together to help their fellow citizens in need. The wristbands will symbolize what Sri Lankan is truly about and that by working together as citizens of the same nation, we will be able make changes. |
