Sri Lanka Care Foundation

Programs - What We Do

The Sri Lanka Care (SLC), a 501 (c)(3) charity, is collecting funds to rebuild, restore, and revitalize southern and western coastline communities devastated by the Tsunami. Major relief organizations did complete the insurmountable task of providing immediate health, sanitation, and nutritional assistance to the Sri Lankan people.. However, over a year has passed since the devastating Tsunami and the long-term reconstruction effort is sorely lacking – especially in housing. We believe that the critical element to rebuilding these lives is to provide permanent housing.

Our objective is to provide a complete housing solution by providing tools to support their sources of income, building schools, and medical facilities.

Our reconstruction team is ready and has already proven their dedication by fully completing over 50 homes in 2005.

•	Immediate construction of 250 low cost homes. Upon completion of the new homes, the recipients are given the keys to the house. The Sri Lanka Care is the only organization giving special consideration to women during the housing selection process.

•	Construction of a 200 bed dormitory and classroom building for the Vajira Sri Children’s Home, Sri Lanka ’s largest orphanage. This three-story building will accommodate the influx of Tsunami orphans and provide much needed classroom space.

Our reconstruction team is ready and has already proven their dedication by fully completing over 50 homes. Now, we need your help to reach our modest goal of 250 homes and the construction of a 200-bed dormitory and classroom facility for some of Sri Lanka’s neediest children.

Our target is to have as close to 100 cents of every donated dollar go to the needy. In 2005, our administrative costs were 1.50%.
