Sith Sewana Residential home for Intellectually and physically handicapped children and differently abled children was the brain child of Mr. Sarath Lanka Perera and founded on on the 8th of may 1999. His ambition was to have a home in the salubrious settings of Tanamalwilla to develop the hidden potential of the differently abled and to give them a vocation suited to there abilities. His intention was to guide and assist these children and bring to their full potential.
After having an individual appropriate assessment our aim is to create the best opportunities for them to improve their quality of life to fulfill potentials minimizing the impact of disabilities.
Mr Sarath Lanka Perera is the Resident Director of this home and has currently 70 children under his care helped by permanent staff ,helpers, and well wishers who may be up to twenty on any one day.
It will be appreciated that a voluntary non profit organization such as Sith Sewana with its main objective being to develop the hidden potential of these children requires much planning, vision, and above all the necessary funds to be able to achieve its objectives.
Ninety five percent of the families come from low income group and, Chena cultivation, is the only source of livelihood for the families.
The Sith Sewana children development society functions irrespective of caste ,creed, race, religion, rich or poor and the doors of the entrance is open to anyone any time of the day or night. |
