About Help Lanka

After The Tsunami devastated the coastline of Sri Lanka in December 2004 a group of 7 people based in the UK with Sri Lankan links decided to set up a charity to keep the rebuilding of Sri Lanka at the top of the agenda.
Help Lanka is not a disaster relief charity- we are a structured, long term autonomous charity managed by a dedicated group of people with links back in Sri Lanka on the ground. Helplanka is dedicated in providing long term assistance to children in Sri Lanka across the island. We have already provided food, clothing, medicine, counselling and much needed educational assistance and training.

Nearly 5000 children have been helped by Helplanka in the last year. Working with partners and other established organizations we have been able to provide professional , structured assistance and have been able to ensure that the most needy and deserving children are reached and practically helped.

In order for Helplanka to maintain its vital work to help children deprived of education, and shelter in Sri Lanka, we need continued financial assistance and funding and rely on your support and generosity.
