*** SRI LANKA URGENT MEDICAL APPEAL ***
Dear Friends, Friends of Sri Lanka (then Ceylon),
As you may know Sri Lanka is going through a very difficult time due to its financial instability. Lack of foreign reserves in the country has caused a severe knock on effect in essential public services such as healthcare and transport. Sri Lankan healthcare system vastly depends on drugs, medicines and medical equipment that are imported from foreign suppliers. These imports have been severely low due to the lack of foreign reserves in the country.
We have reached out to a the relevant authorities of a few leading health boards/hospitals to offer our support and the first request for urgent medical support has been received from the Lady Ridgeway Hospital (LRH) for Children, which is the largest Paediatric hospital in Sri Lanka.
On behalf of Ranaviru Fund and Sri Lankan Association in Scotland, attached the request letter specifically issued to Ranaviru Fund / SLAS | Sri Lankan Association in Scotland. We will be fundraising through Ranaviru Fund, Scottish Registered Charity (OSCR Reg No SC041479) to support this urgent medical need of LRH.
As a fundamental practice and policy, Ranaviru Fund charity provides full financial accounts including the detailed expenses for all charitable projects it delivers.
Donations can be made via PayPal Giving Fund following the link below. UK donors, please consider adding Gift Aid to your donations at no extra cost to you.

Constructing a Farm-Well for a Ranaviru Family
Update: 09 August 2019
We are supporting a project to build a farm-well for a very needy family in Anuradhapura and your support will help to save the lives of the mother and her 3 children. If you prefer to help them directly, please get in touch so I can provide their contact details and bank details - PLEASE READ THEIR STORY below.
Initial estimate of the project was at LKR 177,000 but due to difficulties and bedrock found during initial construction we spent LKR 224,000 already and estimated another LKR 120,000 to complete the project.
We are reaching out to all well wishers to see if any of you could help with whatever the amount they can to raise the urgently needed funds.
If you could help, please let us know. No matter whatever the amount is. If you could help please contact the undersigned so we can let you know how to donate OR donate via Facebook using the Donate button in this website. Please consider giving your donation with Gift Aid if you are a UK tax payer.
