GOAL
began operations in Sri Lanka with an emergency response in key sectors
such as Water and Sanitation, Non-Food Relief items and Shelter and
quickly deployed into three main areas of operation – Matara,
Hambantota and Ampara.
Rapid field assessments were undertaken and within one week operations
had fully commenced. Initially work was concentrated on rubble removal
and body retrieval in all areas; this work has long been completed,
and GOAL has entered the rehabilitation phase.
Temporary shelters have been built for the homeless, a schools rehabilitation
programme started and many other projects are completed or
at an advanced stage of development. |
