Supporting families displaced by war

CAFOD partner HUDEC supports 250 fishing and farming families who were displaced by the war in north-east Sri Lanka.

HUDEC is helping the families to return home and providing them with loans for irrigation, boats and fishing equipment.

The income and nutritional health of the returned families has risen significantly as a result of HUDEC's work.
