After the 2004 Tsunami,
children were the worst affected, witnessing the waters sweep away their
family and home. Many lost at least one parent and some were orphaned.
Sadly, the majority of these children from the North and East were
already psychologically affected by the war. Abuse is also a growing
concern.
With a literacy rate of
96%, education is of utmost importance to Sri Lankans and every child is
eager to learn as much as they can, However, poverty and war impede most
children completing their studies. Alliance Development Trust is
committed to meeting the needs of all these children and providing safe
havens for them away from war, poverty and pain where they will be cared
for, with love, respect and dignity. |
