About Us
Sri Lanka's Childcare and Probation Department in
collation with hundreds of private children's homes
around the nation strive to meet the needs of the
thousands of children at risk due to the horrors of
abandonment, abuse and neglect in addition to the care
of hundreds of orphans. Although the fundamental
standards set by the Department of Childcare and
Probation insure basic security, Sri Lanka's
governmentally accepted standards of nutrition,
education and emotional support hundreds of children
spend their entire life in residential care yet, never
meet their individual, emotional, physical, spiritual,
educational, vocational and relational potential.
Likewise, the Children's Homes management and staff
seldom obtain any specialized training in meeting those
vital needs of the children entrusted to their care.
Whilst we recognize the need to re-unify children, who
have families wherever possible, we cannot close our
eyes to the often poor conditions and quality of care
offered to many children who have no other option than
residential care, hence we have set our plan for the
empowerment and development of children's homes in Sri
lanka.
