Hayleys provides relief to IDPs

 

Employees of the Hayleys Group are donating a day's salary towards the needs of the internally displaced in northern Sri Lanka, and their employer companies will double the funds thus raised, to support the continuation of initiatives begun over a month ago to help these people.

In response to the humanitarian needs of thousands who fled the fighting in the north east, Hayleys in a press release said it launched its relief effort in April to provide drinking water, sanitation facilities, food and clothing to the IDPs.

The group initially deployed containers, flexi-tanks and water pumps, which supplied the camps with 150,000 litres of water a day for a week, and has donated plastic storage tanks of 2000 litres each, materials for the construction of 100 temporary toilets, plastic barrels of 220 litre capacity, 50,000 pairs of examination gloves, 20,000 pairs of household gloves and bed sheets, as well as food, clothing and cleaning implements, the press release said.
