A dedicated monitoring visit was carried out by the Food Security team of Caritas Sri Lanka (SEDEC) to assess the ongoing implementation and progress of the Food Security Project managed by Caritas Valvuthayam.
The three-day visit focused on evaluating field-level impact, engaging with beneficiaries, and understanding local challenges and achievements in project execution. The SEDEC team visited target villages in both Mannar and Vavuniya districts, where they observed the practical outcomes of home gardening, sustainable agriculture efforts, and community participation.
A key highlight of the visit was the opening of a Village Knowledge Centre (VKC) in Kumanaiyankulam, Mannar, by the Food Security Team of Caritas Sri Lanka (SEDEC). This center will serve as a vital hub for sharing agricultural knowledge, climate-resilient practices, and development resources with local farmers and families—fostering community learning and empowerment.
The team also held in-depth discussions with Caritas Valvuthayam’s Food Security team in Mannar, reviewing monitoring data, project strategies, and future plans to ensure food security for vulnerable families in the region.
This visit reflects the ongoing collaboration between Caritas Sri Lanka and its diocesan partner to strengthen rural livelihoods, enhance household nutrition, and build resilience through sustainable practices.
Caritas Valvuthayam remains committed to walking with the communities toward a hunger-free and sustainable future.
