Sri Lanka is currently faced with one of its worst ever humanitarian crises.

Over one million people have been displaced from their habitual residences in the Northern Peninsula.

In such a crisis, the most important needs for survival are water, food and medicines.

In an initiative to provide support to the people of the North and help them face this situation, Coca-Cola Beverages Sri Lanka joined massive efforts undertaken by civil society and the government and came forward with a donation of 100,000 bottles of water.

To ensure speedy delivery of the 100,000 bottles of Kinley Water to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Vavuniya, Coca-Cola Beverages Sri Lanka handed over the consignment to Dr. Athula Kahandaliyanage, Secretary, Ministry of Healthcare and Nutrition, Sri Lanka.
