The Sri Lanka Red Cross Society provides Restoring Family Links (RFL) services, including tracing and Red Cross Messaging, to help reconnect family members who have been separated due to conflict, disasters, migration, or other humanitarian crises.
Tracing services can be initiated when the whereabouts of a family member or loved one are unknown. The Sri Lanka Red Cross Society collects the available information and, works with relevant components of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement to try to locate the person.
Red Cross Messages may be used to help restore or maintain communication between family members when the location of the sought person is known, but regular means of communication are unavailable or disrupted.
If you are looking for a missing family member or need assistance reconnecting with a loved one, you can contact the Sri Lanka Red Cross Society to learn more about available Restoring Family Links services.
