ABDF

One part of ABDF.org’s mission is to help local Sri Lankan groups help themselves. A big part of this is grant writing.

The skills necessary for writing grants don’t exist in Batticaloa, and as a result community groups and grassroots organizations loose out on a lot of potential help. Program Manager Bennett Hinkley, who has several years of grant writing and administration experience, has offered his assistance to several groups in both the writing and management of grants. Thus far, ABDF.org has assisted the following local organizations:

Synergy

The Sri Lanka Friendship Society - Batticaloa

The Sri Lanka Friendship Society - Kandy

The Islamic Women’s Association for Research and Empowerment

Peace for Children and Women

Eastern University

The Muslim Peace Secretariat – Batticaloa

St. Vincent de Paul Society – Batticaloa
