Underprivileged families
Our project focuses on supporting underprivileged families live in hardly accessible areas in Sri Lanka. Many of these families struggle with poor housing conditions and limited access to basic resources. Some of their homes were damaged during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and in recent years they have been further damaged by severe weather events, including flooding and the impact of Cyclone Ditwah, which caused widespread destruction across Sri Lanka.
Through donations and community support, we aim to help rebuild these houses and create safe living conditions for families in need. read more>
More detailed information about the rebuilding plan and expenses can be found in the document below

Sujit Kumara
A deaf boy, named Sujit Kumara, was helped by the venerable Bhikkhunī to attend a school with mentally disabled children. His mother did not have any financial support, so she was not able to provide him with his special necessities. The venerable also bought him a hearing aid gadget to enable the boy to learn how to communicate.
In a short period of time, he has seen major improvements in his life.
