Mission : To provide a home like environment, to protect, shelter, feed, clothe, and tend to the health needs, both emotional and physical, of children orphaned by the 2004 Tsunami Background: The Sri Lanka Orphanage Fund has been established to build and operate a children village in Galle, Sri Lanka, one of the areas worst affected by the Tsunami of December 26th 2004. When completed, the facility will care for two hundred children. The Amarasinghe brothers have initiated the project and have given a lead gift of ten acres of land in the village of Panagamuwa, Galle, Sri Lanka, on which the children’s village will be built. In the initial phase of the project, T. D. Amarasinghe has agreed to donate the use of his near by ten bedroom home, SRI SINGHA PAYA to house the first group of orphans while the cottages are being built. Upon completion, the orphans will be transferred to their new cottages, and in turn, they will be replaced by additional children orphaned by the 2004 tsunami until the children’s village has been fully constructed.
