Palmera Projects
Current Crisis Appeals
Palmera's primary fundraising focus is providing aid to the most marginalised areas Sri Lanka. The North East of Sri Lanka has been the victim of a 25 year brutal war which has claimed the lives of over 65,000 people, several times as many people have been disabled, and displaced almost 800,000 from their homes. While all of Sri Lanka has suffered from the consequences, the North East and the adjacent areas have borne the brunt of the fighting. Poverty levels in the North East, at 60% to 90%, are much higher than the rest of the country.
