EVERY CHILD DESERVES
A LOVING FAMILY,
NOT AN ORPHANAGE
DID YOU KNOW?
10,000
OVER
CHILDREN LIVE IN ORPHANAGES IN SRI LANKA, WITHOUT A FAMILY, AN EDUCATION - OR A FUTURE.
POVERTY, DISCRIMINATION, DISABILITY, WAR AND NATURAL DISASTER ARE ALL FACTORS
THAT CAUSE CHILDREN TO BECOME SEPARATED FROM THEIR FAMILIES
80%
OF THESE CHILDREN
HAVE AT LEAST ONE LIVING PARENT BUT ARE GIVEN UP IN THE HOPE OF A BETTER LIFE, NOT REALISING THE LONG TERM DAMAGE CAUSED.
