Sir Lanka

Sri Lanka, once known as a tropical paradise, is now in the midst of a deep economic and social crisis. The pandemic, mismanagement, and political instability have brought the country to the brink of bankruptcy. The population is suffering from extreme living costs, food shortages, and inadequate supplies, especially in rural areas. Amidst this hardship, Sri Lanka is a hotspot of religious diversity: Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, and Christians live together in a small area.
