Twenty three newly built houses were handed over on 29 November 2013 to families who were displaced by the war of 2009. Up to now these families were living in makeshift shelters. Fr. Jeevendra Paul O.M.I., Grant Director of OMI General Administration, kindly graced the occasion. This is an OMI-LEBARA partnership project where the financing is done by the LEBARA Foundation while the Oblates take care of the logistics. Already fifty houses in Paranthan and Fifty houses in Maniamthotam, Jaffna were handed over to displaced families by this project in 2012
