Currently, about 5M Sri Lankans require food assistance. According to recent surveys, 86% (Eighty-Six percent) of households utilize at least one coping mechanism, such as limiting food intake or skipping meals. (UN REPORT) Because food prices have risen by more than 60%, the items you purchased for Rs.1,000 are no longer worth Rs.1600 or more.

What is Community Kitchen?

Community Kitchen is a group of people who regularly gets together to plan, cook and share healthy, affordable meals. Everybody is welcome to join Community Kitchen Groups which can be run in any location with a kitchen (including churches, schools, neighborhood houses, community health services, workplaces, Men’s Sheds and etc.).

There is no ‘one way’ or ‘right way’ to operate Community Kitchen. However, there are a few key features that are essential as they allow groups to bypass strict food safety legislation and ensure an empowerment and capacity-building model (rather than a welfare model) is followed.

Essential features:

  • Held on a regular basis (usually weekly or fortnightly)
  • It is participant-driven, and all participants are actively involved in the planning, preparation, and cooking food
  • Prepared Food is shared among participants/members of their household (meals are not given away or sold)
