ACT4SriLanka community kitchen
The emergency appeal ACT raised during Sri Lanka’s economic crisis, and the kitchen it paid for.
When Sri Lanka’s economic crisis took hold, ACT Sri Lanka launched an emergency appeal — ACT4SriLanka — with ACT UK and Mohanji International. The appeal funded a service hub with an on-site community kitchen, in a building leased in the Bandarawela district.
The kitchen opened in August 2022 to cook vegan meals for people who could not afford one proper meal a day. It is what an appeal is supposed to leave behind: not a distribution, but a kitchen that was still there afterwards.
