December 01, Colombo (LNW): A new digital facility has been introduced via GovPay to support Sri Lankans affected by the ongoing severe weather. The initiative is designed to make contributions to the Disaster Relief Fund, managed by the Ministry of Finance, both simpler and fully transparent.
The Ministry of Digital Economy confirmed that donors can now make instant contributions through the state payment portal at any time, with funds credited to the Disaster Relief Fund in real time. This allows individuals to provide support conveniently from home or on the go.
The platform is connected to a network of commercial banks and authorised FinTech applications, giving the public multiple options to contribute. The Ministry emphasised that all transactions are tracked transparently, ensuring that donations directly aid communities impacted by the floods and landslides.
