We are Sri Lankan Children Foundation


Sri Lanka has many disadvantaged and forgotten children particularly in the countryside and orphans either of the Tsunami or the recent conflict. The Sri Lankan Children Foundation has been created to gather money, resources and volunteers to improve the life chances of these children.

SLCF mainly focuses on relieving financial hardship, sickness, poor health and to advance the education of children in Sri Lanka, particularly but not exclusively for Orphans.

SLCF aims to provide Hope, Joy and Future for children by providing them opportunities to increase their life chances.

Poverty, war, sickness, and natural disasters can shatter and destroy a child’s future and confidence. Children should not become the victims of these factors. Each child should have a life. They should know the purpose of their life and SLCF helps each child to find their purpose of life.

SLCF supports over 1,000 children via 7 beneficiaries across Sri Lanka.We are providing support across all communities and ethnicity without any specific focus beyond need.

Our projects are mainly centred on safety, resources, education, developing skills and improving life opportunities in any way that will be helpful for children’s future. By increasing each of this child’s self-esteem and self-confidence we try to provide a valid meaning to their life.

Who We Are

As a non-profit organization, we always try to find ways to help people who are suffering from poverty, epidemics, illiteracy and natural disasters all over the world. We hope to bring aids and spread love to any where we go.
We are more than a group of people who share the inspiration in helping other people. We are wholeheartedly working as friends, family and a vibrant community of volunteers and supporters who think and feel alike.
We bring education to the illiterate children, give the students whose families cannot afford to go to schools and unlucky children scholarships and opportunities to study further so that they can obtain their dreams.

Project funding

Each project comes from the beneficiaries themselves so that it will be spent properly. In addition for each project we require:

  • A clear objective
  • A budget
  • A clear completion date
  • A modest budget, at this stage we do not envisage funding anything more than about Rs.3m (£15,000) in costs for any institution

SLCF might not be able to measure the direct economic contribution accurately but our website will provide detailed information on each project. All money raised will go directly to the project without any costs being charged for the administration or logistics, if at all possible.
