Cooperation:
In Sri Lanka:
In Sri Lanka HAVONOS works closely together with its partner organisation: the Social Action Committee (SAC). The SAC consists of representatives of the local population. Management of the SAC lies with Father Gunam (with whom we are in direct contact) and Mr A. Pushpathas (deputy chairman). Besides Father Gunam and Mr Pushpathas the SAC has several members of the board who will assist by word and deed, thus ensuring the continuity of local activities.
The SAC, i.e. the local people themselves, decides on the spot what need is highest and puts forward suggestions for any necessary and useful projects to HAVONOS. Then HAVONOS arranges the financial means needed to realise these projects. All projects meet the criterion that they both contribute to the self support of the local population and to improving their living conditions.
