People encouragement on pandemic situation:
Usual
life of the people has been dropped due to spreading the corona virus among the
public. People are struggling to survive
because of not having income ways. Every
economic activity has been stopped with the decision of government to enact the
curfew in the island wide. Although the curfew removes time to time, the daily
wagers are facing difficulties to find any labor work in the area. District partners organizations of National
Fisheries Solidarity Movement works with the vulnerable people in order to use
this space to develop the home garden of the people. Food sovereignty is one of the main principles of the
National Fisheries Solidarity Movement and there have been a conversation and
intervention to create self-sufficient society for more than 20 years. Encourage the people to build their home
garden is one of the main strategies that the organization has used toward the
target. This strategy is practically implemented by the partner organizations
in the field. Jaffna Fisheries Solidarity Movement visited the people in
Vallipuram in order to observe the existing situation as well as see the
possibilities to use this space to develop the organic home gardens. Mr.N. Imbanayagam, district coordinator of Jaffna District Fisheries Solidarity and
Mrs. Thadjani, animator of the
organization participated in the visit. This meeting was held in Vallipuram
village on 5 of May, 2020.
