Help an orphaned or vulnerable child learn, grow and thrive

Every child deserves the opportunity to grow up with dignity, access education, adequate nutrition, healthcare, and the support needed to build a better future. Through the Peoples Hands Organization Orphans Support Programme, donors and partners can help provide practical assistance to orphaned and vulnerable children and their families in Sri Lanka.

Our support can include:

  • Education and school supplies
  • Food and essential household assistance
  • Healthcare and medical support
  • Clothing and essential items
  • Emergency assistance
  • Eid and seasonal support
  • Family and community-based assistance
  • Other needs identified through local assessments

What is the Peoples Hands Orphans Support Programme?

Connected to a child's broader wellbeing

The Orphans Support Programme is a community-focused initiative supporting orphaned children and other vulnerable children experiencing financial or social difficulties. Rather than treating orphan support only as a one-time donation, Peoples Hands Organization aims to connect assistance with the child's broader wellbeing.

Depending on available funding and identified needs, support may contribute toward:

Education Nutrition Healthcare Essential Needs Emergency Assistance Family Support

The exact assistance provided is always based on verified needs, available resources, and the approved programme plan.

Why orphan support matters in Sri Lanka

Small expenses, significant barriers

Children who have lost one or both parents can face additional financial and social challenges. These challenges can affect access to:

  • School materials
  • Uniforms and footwear
  • Educational expenses
  • Nutritious food
  • Healthcare
  • Clothing
  • Safe living conditions
  • Emergency support

For vulnerable households, relatively small expenses can become significant barriers. Orphan support can therefore help families meet immediate needs while helping children remain connected to education and their communities.

Who does Peoples Hands support?

Prioritizing significant vulnerability

The programme may prioritize children and households experiencing significant vulnerability, including:

  • Orphaned children
  • Children from low-income households
  • Children living with widowed caregivers
  • Children with additional support needs
  • Families affected by emergencies or disasters
  • Children facing barriers to education
  • Other vulnerable children identified through community assessment

Eligibility and prioritization is based on documented criteria rather than assumptions.

Sponsor an orphan in Sri Lanka

A clear, transparent sponsorship model

Orphan sponsorship can help connect donor support with the practical needs of vulnerable children. Depending on the sponsorship model, support may contribute toward education, school materials, food, healthcare, clothing, essential needs, or emergency assistance.

Peoples Hands Organization clearly explains whether a sponsorship payment is:

  • Directly allocated to an individual child, or
  • Pooled into a broader orphan-support programme

This distinction is made transparent to donors before any sponsorship contribution is made.
