Description: We are conducting sewing classes for asylum seekers and refugees at Town Head Village Hall every Wednesday.
Objective: This activity helps mainly women to break isolation and improve mental well-being. It creates an opportunity to learn a new skill.
Aim: Our aim is to deliver practical help to disadvantaged communities, enabling them to address their own development needs.
Focus Areas: Our support focuses on sixteen communities enduring severe social and economic deprivation.
Background: In 2009, Sri Lanka’s civil war of over 25 years ended. However, years of violence left scars on the country’s people, with many thousands displaced from their homes. Although much progress has been made, poverty, economic exclusion, and malnutrition among under-5s still badly affect many areas, especially rural ones.
Leadership: Director David Nallaratman has retained strong links with his native Sri Lanka. He and others at Cross Ethnic are now determined to support poverty-hit communities there.
You can support us as a volunteer, donor, or partner and be part of a movement that changes lives.
From supporting asylum seekers and refugees in Glasgow to helping rural communities overcome poverty and build brighter futures, your support makes it possible.
