Ceylon Christian Care
Welcome to the website of Ceylon Christian Care
Ceylon Christian Care is a Dutch charity foundation dedicated to supporting poor and destitute people in the Tamil area of Sri Lanka. This area of Sri Lanka has been involved in a devastating civil war that lasted for more than 25 years and killed about 100.000 people. In April 2009 this war came to an end. Ceylon Christian Care was founded in 2003 and is involved in a variety of projects, which are mostly focused on orphans, of which there are thousands in this area, and widows. Examples of projects include orphanages, widows’ projects, day care centers, and education support. All projects are concentrated in Batticaloa and Periyaneelavanai. The Tsunami caused a major acceleration of the activities of Ceylon Christian Care. Because Ceylon Christian Care was one of the very few organizations that was already active in the area when the Tsunami occurred, major relief support programs were started immediately, also with help of partner organizations such as Word and Deed. |

The second half of 2009 and 2010 was a difficult period within the 10 years Ceylon Christian Care has been active on Sri Lanka. However over the last half year also new relations started growing and we were able to continue with the projects. With 2011 we have a new year. We like to focus on the future and the work to be done on Sri Lanka. The new year started with heavy rains and large pieces of land were flooded.
