FRIENDS LANKA CHILD FOUNDATION
Our ultimate objective is to improve the level of education of children. There are thousands of children in Sri Lanka, who are below the poverty line. Amidst them, there are many who have left either one or none of their parents making them more vulnerable. Other than their economic instability, and parentless nature, insecure housing conditions are collectively leading the children to leave with less educational output which is below their potential.
