Bishop of St Alban’s Harvest Appeal 2024

 

This year the diocese is partnering with The Leprosy Mission to support the Kaveri Kala Manram (KKM) project in Sri Lanka.

 

The country is suffering from a huge economic crisis and families are struggling with soaring prices and shortages of food and fuel. For those affected by leprosy life is even harder with the added burden of being shunned by their community.

 

The Appeal will support a project run by Reverend Joshua, who helps families affected by leprosy to start their own vegetable gardens. The project brings people together for community meals to learn about nutrition and break down the stigma against people with leprosy.

The money raised will provide plants, seeds, coconut trees and tools so that families can grow their own food and build a sustainable income and will also support Rev Joshua’s community meals.
