Our Mission
Encourage providing normal conditions and environment for orphans and deprived children to live and continue their education: We are committed to providing necessary assistances for these children to lead a normal life and to continue their education. We will work with the Department of Probation and Child care to find a suitable guardian (close relatives) for the orphans and encourage these children to live in the community with the relatives. We will also support and provide necessary assistance to the deprived children who live with their parents and continue their education. We will recommend a child to be placed in an orphanage only as a last resort, if fostering becomes impossible.
Support the school children to continue their education: Many children are unable to continue their education mainly due to financial constrains. We aim to remove the obstacles including financial constrains that prevent the underprivileged children continuing their school education.
Encourage Foster Care: We aim to stop or minimise the unnecessary institutionalisation of children. Children who have lost both parents are institutionalised as their relatives are unable to feed them due to additional financial burden falling upon them. We aim to retain these children in the community and be fostered by relatives or friends by financially supporting these children living with these families. Foster care gives them a chance to live in a familiar environment with siblings, relatives and friends. A child can be placed in an orphanage only as a last resort where no relatives are willing to take over the child or a child is being exploited by the relatives or parents or in a situation where foster care cannot be implemented.
