Our Objectives
To restore shattered communities by re-establishing a minimum level of

self development through the following:
- Ensuring that basic needs are met for key subgroups in a way that
dignifies them and facilitates participation
- Re-establish and diversify livelihood infrastructure and
activities
- Promote psychological healing and wellness through appropriate
community based psychosocial care for affected population

NCEASL is a national network of 1,300 churches in Sri
Lanka and nearly 1,500 congregations. Since 1952, NCEASL has implemented
community based programs and national advocacy campaigns to advance
human rights and religious liberty, promote unity and spiritual
development, and improve quality of life for victims of war and natural
disasters.
ADT and its partners are committed to international
standards of good practice and conduct in relief/development, and its
response will conform to such recognized standards as Sphere, the Code
of Conduct for the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement,
and NGOs in Disaster Relief, and People in Aid. Furthermore, ADT strives
to build local capacities through conducting participatory planning
processes, including vulnerable groups, a focus on cultural
appropriateness, and providing assistance in restoring vital norms such
as school, income generation, recreation, and meaningful work. |
