OrphanCare has successfully completed its 10th consecutive quarterly fund distribution benefiting over 3,000 orphans from 80 plus orphanages across the island representing all ethnicities. 


Despite the ongoing economic challenges in the country, the OrphanCare Trust continued to distribute funds amongst its beneficiaries, showcasing the Trust’s commitment to grow the balances which will be accessible to the Orphans once they reach the age of 18.


In addition to the periodical fund allocation, OrphanCare has identified and profiled orphans who have reached the age of 18 through a structured qualitative support process. Individual orphan profiling is done taking into consideration their educational levels, language skills and career aspirations and matching their requirements with donors of both individual and institutional capacity.


Sharing his views on the progress of OrphanCare, Trustee Deshabandu Tilak de Zoysa shared that within three years of the launch, a period which was marred by challenges ranging from Easter attacks to Covid-19 pandemic to the current economic crisis, OrphanCare has been successful in completing 10 rounds of fund disbursements to beneficiary accounts of orphans. 


“We are grateful to our valued donors and well-wishers who continue to support our cause both monetarily and with qualitative care, which has resulted in the continued success of OrphanCare,” 
he said.
