Our Partnership

KKM & Vanni Hope started working with people affected by war in 2013, initially focusing on children and youth

education. KKM & Vanni Hope has continued to provide community-based rehabilitation services such as safe water

and livelihoods, as well as supporting disadvantaged women and children. These projects and the discussions with

stakeholders (including volunteers and beneficiaries) have motivated everyone involved. Through experience KKM &

Vanni Hope has become more efficient in the delivery of projects.

Activities & Achievements 2018

1. Education Projects for disadvantage children and youth

Our objective is to support children and youth affected by the war. The aim of our education

projects is to motivate these children, provide them with the ability and resources to be

qualified in their chosen profession, be instrumental in assisting employment for others and

to help rebuild our nation.

At present students are being supported by educational scholarships, the supply of basic

nutritional needs and the provision of books and stationary needed for their education. Our

aim is to concurrently provide livelihood facility for them so that in time they will be in a

Success Stories

1. AnndriyaMishealRuban

I am AntriaMishealRuban. I am living with my father,

mother, sister and brother in Periyakallaru, Batticaloa.

Now I am studying in Grade 2 in Kalmunai Mary

Theresious international school since I was three years

old. I have participated Collage Day, Children’s Day,

Teachers’ Day, Christmas tree programme, Carnival

programme and Dance competition in my school. I have

got Silver medal in my inter school sports meet. When

my father met Reverend S. Joshua the Director of Kaveri

Kala Manram I was able to get help from Mr.Ranjan Sir through the KKM-Vanni

Hope Higher education project as my father’s salary wasnot enough to fulfil our

educational needs. Now my father and mother are encouraging me in my studies.

Kaveri KKM-Vanni Hope helps me to improve my English knowledge. I would

like to become an English teacher. I will help a person like me when I become an

English teacher.

2. SelvarasaVijayakumar

I am SelvarasaVijayakumar. I am living with my mother

in Amanthanavely, Batticaloa. We are living happily and

healthy. I have got good knowledge to read, write and get

good result. I get healthy foods monthly as breakfast and

myfamily income has been improving through their home

garden. It helps to fulfil our essential needs and school

needs. Now we make a small serving through our

income. My mother is a special need person but she is

working as a daily wage earner and she gets Rs3000.00

wages monthly. My father has passed away. My mother’s yield is not enough to

fulfil our needs. But my mother fulfils our daily needs and my school needs.

Getting food three times is very difficult to us. I and my mother have got many

troubles both medically and mentally. Since Kaveri Kala Manram -Vanni Hope

came to our village last year they have changed my life by helping me study. I

couldn’t read Tamil letters before I joined with KKM -Vanni Hope Children

development project. That’s why I couldn’t get best results. Now I have got good

knowledge through the KKM -Vanni Hope’s evening classes. KKM -Vanni Hope

doesn’t give lots of money instead it teaches us how to live a happy and healthy life.

Thank you KKM – Vanni Hope to made me as a knowledgeable person.

working. At thattime, I had completed my Ordinary level

examination and I didn’t have any facilities to continue my Advance level studiesKKM –

Tharaniga’s success story

I am Balakrishnan Tharaniga and I live in Kilinochchi. My family were affected by the war. My father sustained

physical injuries during the war and my mother is disabled. I have a younger sister.

While my father was working very hard and struggling to support my sister and me with

our studies, we were fortunate to encounter Reverend Joshua. Reverend made it possible

for me to receive monthly financial assistance through Kaveri Kala Manram - Vanni

Hope. Due to this help, I have been able to continue my studies and even attend tuition

classes.

My father had difficulty taking us to school on his push bike but now thanks to KKM –

VH we can afford to go to school on an auto [three wheeler].

I also appreciate the advice and guidance given to me by KKM staff.

I scored 8 A’s in my O’Levels and am hoping to score well in my A’Levels also. My dream is to study

medicine and serve my community.

One day I hope to help other under privileged children with their studies – just like KKM Vanni Hope helped me.

Sugirtha’s success story

My name is Suhirtha Subramanium and I live in Malayalapuram, Kilinochchi. I am one of 5 siblings and including my

parents there are 7 in the family.

My father works on a farm. My sister and I are students.

When my parents had difficulty meeting the financial expense of my higher education we were

fortunate to come in contact with Kaveri Kala Manram.

Mr Thevananth Sir, through Kaveri Kala Manram – Vanni Hope granted me an education

scholarship. This enabled me to purchase necessary stationary, pay for my tuition fee and

examination fee. In my A’Levels in the Maths stream I scored A and 2S and was placed 40th in my

district.

I have been given a seat in the Eastern University in Trincomalee.

I intend to study well and gain an excellent qualification. Once I have qualified, my wish is to

support other students like me Through Kaveri Kala Manram.

Sangeetha’s success story

My name is Sangeetha Mahendran and I live in Krishnapuram. I am one of 3 children. My

father’s daily wage was stretched to support the education of his three daughters.

In 2017, I completed my A’Level in the Commerce field. I scored 3 A’s and was ranked 7 th in

the district!

Through Kaveri Kala Manram – Vanni Hope, Mr Lakshman Swaminathan and Mrs

Renu Swaminathan have supported me with a scholarship fund. This fund has

helped pay for my tuition fee, exam fee and course fee.

I have secured a place in Sri Jayawardenepura University to follow a course in

‘Public Special Management’.

I hope KKM – VH will be able to continue to help students like me.

02. Development projects

Our main objective is to focus on the disadvantaged, disabled and people who were affected

by the war and who are living below the poverty line. We believe giving handouts alone does

not help people overcome their current situation. With this in mind, we have been focusing

on exploring their talents and strengths and then providing them with the opportunity to

become self-sufficient. With this aim in mind our projects focus on providing water, soil,

plants and animal husbandry in order to for people to generate a sustainable income.

Success stories of Vanni HopeBeneficiaries

1. Annakili

I am Annakili. I am living alone in Arayampathy,

Batticaloa. I have got three married children. I am

a widow and affected by leprosy. When KKM-

Vanni Hope met me,I had no water access to fulfil

my essential needs and was facing many troubles

both medically and mentally. KKM- Vanni Hope

placed me into the Livelihood Project and installed

a tube well, water tank, water motor and pipe lines.

Now I have water access and it has been very

useful to my daily water needs. I have also managed to improve my living

conditionsby earning an income from cultivating plants. My financial situation has

improved and I am nowliving happily and confidently, thanks to KKM-Vanni

Hope.

2. Thevakumar Mary

I am Thevakumar Mary. I am living

with my husband and five children who

go to school in Puthukadu,

Ramanathapuram, Vaddakachchi. I

work in the Kilinochchi Ammachchi

food centre. After my husband lost his

leg following an accident with a tractor

we found ourselves in financial trouble. When KKM- Vanni Hope met us, my

husband was unemployed and our well was closed. We didn’t have the finances to

dig another well. Due to husbands experience and interest in cultivation, KKM-

Vanni Hope constructed a tube well for us. We are now cultivating brinjal, crops,

bitter guard, plantain trees, coconut trees and peanuts. We are getting daily income

through the vegetable cultivation and they are getting monthly income through the

other plant cultivation. Now we have a happy and health life. Thank you KKM-

Vanni Hope

I am SuntharampillaiAnnaluxmy. I am living with my

five family members in mylvaganapuram,

Pramanthanaru. When I first met KKM-Vanni Hope

I haddifficult financial problems. I tried to farmed a

small vegetable garden to earn yield, but I had no

water access to farm or to meet our essential needs.

KKM-Vanni Hope installed a tube well and now we

can get water to farm and for our basic needs. The

vegetables we produce provide us with food as well as

an income. Now our family financial situation has

3. Spiritual development project for resettlement community

Although education and livelihoods are essential for survival, these alone are insufficient

in raising the spiritual wellness of our community. Spirituality by instilling ethics,

morality and code of conduct is essential for the emotional and spiritual wellbeing of a

community.

With this in mind we are involved in resurrecting damaged and neglected temples by

empowering and motivating the local community with financial assistance to rebuild and

help with the resumption of worship.

To instil in children the concept that religion is not merely worship but a prescribed way

of life, we have commenced Araneri schools on Sundays and hope to raise the spiritual

wellbeing of these children. 170 children attend these classes. Nutritious food is supplied

to these children on the day.

To encourage and develop the spiritual wellbeing of our youth, RamarBhajan is

conducted. About 50 to 60 youth are involved in RamarBhajan where they gather and sing

bhajans weekly at the local temple. Over the months of November, December and January

bhajans are sung daily, initiating at the temple and progressing along the roads to

individual homes.

5. Youth’s skill development through Sports activities.

We aim to promote the sporting talents of our youth both at schools and clubs. Children here

have been deprived of the opportunity to compete at the national level over the past 40 years.

For the second-time Battle of Vanni was initiated where 21 clubs competed in a cricket

tournament. This was done in association with the Kilinochchi cricket association. On

account of this venture the Kilinochchi cricket association has been recognized by the

national cricket board. Consequently, Kilinochchi cricket association now has a standing in

the cricket board of the Northern Province.

It is our determination that every single action taken by this association be honest,

honourable and beyond reproach. Every measure is taken to make our dealings as

transparent as possible.

We encourage direct communication between our sponsors and beneficiaries, be it via

letters, phone calls or personal visits. We have ensured an internationally recognized auditor

has access to all our records.

By following this code of conduct we hope to positively influence the lives of not just a

fraction but of the entirety of the war affected community. We wish to extend our sincere

gratitude to each and every sponsor who has managed to touch the lives of our

beneficiaries.

We wish to thank all the Vanni Hope donors who have contributed to our projects. Finally

our most sincere and heartfelt thanks goes to our untiring field staff for their dedication

and hard work to improve the lives of war affected communities.
