Cherith International is caring for orphans, less-privileged children and vulnerable
people in Nawalapitiya, a small town located in the central mountains
of Sri Lanka. Nawalapitiya is home to a multi-ethnic and
multi-religious community with a diverse culture.
Many families
in this mountainous area are living on the breadline. Children
are adversely affected by the poverty. Helping them to
achieve a
better future is a main focus of Cherith’s programs. Please

Cherith International is assisting the less fortunate in various ways
and how you can become part of it.
Caring for
orphans

orphaned kids.
It is a place
where children will experience a loving, caring, and family-style
living. Under
this nurturing care, they will grow up and mature while being prepared
for
adulthood. Read more
