ABOUT VILLAGE ASSIST

Village Assist Ridge Meadows was founded by Mrs. Daughty Preena in January 2005. She has family in Sri Lanka and has seen the devastation first hand. With the help and advice of Adopt-A-Village Vancouver, Mrs. Preena established a grassroots campaign in Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge to assist the village of Kinniya. The focus has been financing, rebuilding and developing self-help projects. Daughty visited Kinniya in March, and with funds from Village Assist she was able to provide immediate assistance to 70 families. Village Assist is committed to not only providing critical supplies and equipment to families, but to also purchase the materials in the affected areas to support economic regeneration as well.

Village Assist Ridge Meadows was registered as a B.C. society on June 28, 2005. We are now also established as a charitable non-profit society, our registration number is at the bottom of the webpage.
