OUF Steps Up for Sri Lanka After Deadly Floods

Article image

Sri Lanka is facing one of the most severe humanitarian crises in its recent history. Torrential rains triggered catastrophic floods, landslides, and widespread destruction across multiple districts, leaving families with nothing but heartbreak and uncertainty. According to recent assessments, 175,000 people have been affected, and nearly 2,000 houses have been completely washed away.

According to Sri Lankan authorities, at least 159 people have lost their lives, and 203 individuals are still missing, swept away in the violent floods and landslides that followed the cyclone. Even though Cyclone Ditwah has now moved away from Sri Lanka, the threat remains far from over.

But perhaps the most devastating detail is this: 90% of people’s homes were inundated with dirty, contaminated floodwater up to and even above roof level. These homes are not just damaged; they are unrecoverable. Families are returning to find their belongings dissolved in mud, their walls collapsed, and their life savings gone. Not even a pin can be salvaged. Everything must be rebuilt from scratch.

Amid this overwhelming devastation, One Ummah Foundation (OUF) has stepped forward with urgency, compassion, and a firm commitment to supporting the people of Sri Lanka during this critical time.

One Ummah Foundation’s Emergency Relief Efforts

With needs rising by the hour, OUF immediately began providing life-saving assistance to flood-affected communities, ensuring that support reaches those suffering the most.

Emergency Donations Where Help Is Needed Most

OUF has already provided direct support to trusted organizations working on the ground in Sri Lanka. This ensures rapid, targeted relief for families who have lost everything: supporting shelter, medical needs, clothing, and emergency supplies.

Ration Support for Hundreds of Thousands

With markets destroyed, food inaccessible, and communities stranded, OUF has funded food rations for hundreds of thousands of people. These packages bring immediate relief to families facing hunger in overcrowded shelters and temporary camps.

Supporting Families Starting From Zero

The scale of destruction is unimaginable:

  • Entire houses swept away
  • Water levels reaching rooftops
  • Families left without documents, clothing, or savings
  • Children sleeping on cold floors in emergency shelters

OUF’s assistance provides a foundation for families as they begin the difficult journey of rebuilding, brick by brick, meal by meal, day by day.

A Special Fundraiser for Sri Lanka

With the damage so extensive and the recovery expected to take months, OUF has launched a special fundraiser dedicated exclusively to Sri Lanka’s flood victims.

This campaign will help provide:

  • Food supplies
  • Clean water
  • Emergency shelter
  • Clothing & hygiene kits
  • Support for rebuilding homes
  • Assistance for families who lost everything

OUF remains committed to ensuring that every donation is used responsibly, efficiently, and where it will have the greatest impact.
