Clarendon
Clarendon is a home in Mount Lavinia, Sri Lanka, for underprivileged children,
mostly destitute orphans. Some of the residents have
been victims of the civil unrest of some years back and the war in the North, still
bearing the scars of having witnessed the brutal murders of their parents and
siblings. More recently, others have been children from the streets and slums, as well as orphans. The home provides a sanctuary for these youngsters, irrespective of
race, religion and other differences, shielding them from the certain fate of
abuse and exploitation that they most likely would have succumbed to. The Home attends to all of their needs such as food, clothing, health care and
schooling.
Holy Family nuns, providing refuge to 30 to 33 children at a time, previously administered the home. Thirty children who were residing in the home at the time were placed in boarding schools in communities throughout the island. We continue to fund all of the needs of 7 of these children each month, including boarding fees, clothing and other needs. The other children from the program have completed their studies and have moved on to seek employment and family life through marriage. We will continue to support these children until they each complete their education. We have cared for these children since their formative years (in some cases for over 10 years). We will continue to provide for her support and education until completion. Please see more details on each of the children in the section titled “Meet Our Children”. |
