Since the end of the war the Government and other organisations within and outside Sri Lanka have being helping the victims of the war in the North and the East to enable them to resume their normal lives. Among the organisations that helped were many charitable institutions of the Tamils in the diaspora. Their affinity towards the members of their own community prompted them instinctively to help the victims who had survived the vagaries of the war. These charitable organisations and some of the philanthropists in the diaspora have disbursed large amounts of monies during the past six years providing various kinds of assistance for the rehabilitation of the victims and to reconstruct some of the damages caused by the war to the infrastructure.
