Sri Lanka is currently facing a severe economic crisis, exacerbated by nearly 30 years of civil war. A honey cooperative, supported by the Swiss organization Helvetas, is helping local youth assist the struggling population while promoting peace. Anuruddha Nayaka Bandara, the administrative chief of Mihintale, highlights the dire situation, noting that many families can only afford one meal a day, earning less than a dollar. With the government declaring bankruptcy in 2022, support from organizations like the UN and Helvetas has become crucial for providing food and financial aid to those in need.
