Vavuniya, Sri Lanka –
The Director of Caritas Valvuthayam, Rev. Fr. G. A. Arulraj Croos, recently undertook a field visit to Food Security Project target villages in the Vavuniya district, reaffirming the organization’s deep commitment to supporting vulnerable farming communities.

One of the key highlights of the visit was the seed distribution event held in Manipuram Village, where project beneficiaries received essential seeds to strengthen their home garden cultivation. These efforts aim to improve household-level food production and resilience, especially among low-income families.

The Director was also joined with students from the Netherlands, currently interning at Caritas Valvuthayam through a partnership with the Rockit Foundation. Their presence added a special dimension to the visit, fostering international understanding and solidarity in grassroots development work.

This visit provided an opportunity for open dialogue with beneficiaries and field teams, as well as firsthand observation of the project’s impact on household nutrition, sustainability, and community empowerment.

Caritas Valvuthayam continues to work hand-in-hand with rural families, ensuring they have the tools and support to grow a better future one seed at a time.
