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. |

It is with deep regret that we have to inform you that we have decided to terminate our cooperation with Rev Jeyanesan and the Church of American Ceylon Mission (CACM). As result of this, it is well possible that our involvement in many of the projects that we have been supporting will be terminated as well and that we have to look for a solution for the children of the homes. The same decision is taken by our partners Word and Deed and Kindernothilfe, two other organizations that have been active in Sri Lanka for a long time and that have worked with Rev Jeyanesan and the CACM over the past years. |
