The Singapore-Sri Lanka Business Association (SLBA) has partnered Ray of Hope (ROH), a registered crowdfunding charity in Singapore, in order to help raise funds that will be utilised to procure essential medical equipment for the citizens of Sri Lanka – a need that has arisen due to the severe economic crisis faced by the country.

100% of all funds raised will go towards the project. The vendor and equipment vetting process will be carried out by the SLBA and all equipment will be purchased in Singapore. All equipment suppliers in Singapore will be paid directly by ROH who will manage, monitor and audit the financials for the project as SLBA’s charity partner.

All logistics for the project will be managed by the SLBA who will work with their assigned partners and the local authorities to ensure transport and local distribution to Sri Lanka. The SLBA has made direct links with the Ministry of Health in Sri Lanka and will closely coordinate the efforts to ensure transparency for the donors.
