For people like Nalini’s family who live off the land, the years of displacement during the decades-long civil war in Sri Lanka were particularly tough. “There were no shops nearby so everything had to be cultivated, grown and home-made. We lost all our assets during the war and my greatest worry was how to secure a good marriage for my daughter,” she said. During the war-torn years, they had to contend with the demands of the Tamil Tiger rebels. In addition, they had to manage their relationship with the majority Sinhalese community in the North Central Province that bordered their village. The opportunity for change came in 2017 when Nalini and her family were among the first in Sinnawattai village to build homes with compressed stabilized earth blocks. Despite various challenges including access to the remote village, 39 families in Sinnawattai partnered with Habitat for Humanity Sri Lanka under the European Union-funded “Homes not Houses” project.
