Relief EffortsFrom January through May 2009, the North and East of Sri Lanka experienced an intense spike in violence, as the country's long-standing civil conflict continued to play out. The war was officially declared over in May 2009 when the government regained control over all territory. As a result of the conflict, hundreds of thousands of persons were displaced, and daily life was severely disrupted throughout the affected regions. Since February 2009, IMHO Canada has worked alongside IMHO USA in responding to needs as they arose. The organization has provided support for the installation of 50 toilets in resettlement homes, basic needs & nutritional support for orphans, rehabilitation for amputees, and more. IMHO Canada remains committed to serving the humanitarian needs of these persons and others on the outside who have been affected by this conflict for years to come...

Amputee RehabWorking with a handful of partner organizations, including Sivan Arul Illam Trust and the Jaffna Jaipur Centre for Disability Rehabilitation (JJCDR), IMHO Canada is committed to the full and comprehensive rehabilitation of war victims and others with disabilities. With as many as 25,000-30,000+ civilian war amputees and disabled persons, the needs are massive. Many continue to suffer from physical and mental trauma, lack of occupation, discomfort, and lack of mobility, all of which must be addressed urgently. IMHO Canada has made amputee rehabilitation a top priority for 2010 and has committed support for the employment & training of physiotherapists, the production & supply of all-terrain wheelchairs, and more.
