5. Orphan Sponsorship

There are hundreds of vulnerable Orphan children around Sri Lanka in both urban and rural areas. Orphans, street children left to fend for themselves, children from poverty-stricken families, and victims of war and conflict. They are deprived of education, traumatized by violence and abuse – mental and physical, or suffer from illness. Reaching out to meet their needs, both short and long-term. The orphan children who live with either guardians or mothers at houses have been facing financial difficulties to meet their basic day-to-day needs. No one can be replaced at the place where the father stood as a child; Therefore, many orphaned children are destitute, uncared for, poor, and suffer from inadequate access to health care, education, and proper nutrition.
Serving Humanity continues the sponsorship of 43 orphans for the fourth consecutive year with the support of Orphans in Need (UK) through Al-Ihsan Trust. This project support 43 families who have vulnerable orphan children to enhance their living conditions by ensuring access to quality education, nutrition food, and healthcare services through the provision of financial assistance. IN 2023, Serving Humanity will establish a well-structured and strategized department called the orphan care and development unit of Serving Humanity and the team recruits a Unit for the orphan program to drive the project implementation process in consultation with the project of the Orphan programs.
The main problem that orphans’ families have been encountering is the financial crisis which had been managed by the fathers – who left the world- who was a breadwinner of the family; the aftermath of the father’s death, it seems a black era is going to start to the family; either widow mother or elder son will have to head the family. If the mother goes to work at home as a home cleaner or domestic laborer to earn money to feed her family, there is a likelihood to be seduced by the employers or other laborers; she might be misused and neglected by society which will affect the children. As a result of this, the children will be in an unsecured environment; the young children of the mother will have to stay with either the elder sibling or with neighbors until she returns; the neighbors may abuse the children; sometimes, the children will have to clean the home of neighbors and wash their clothes. Consequently, the children will be unable to concentrate on their studies and affect physiologically.

6. Emergency Relief - FHC

Serving Humanity Foundation supported feeding the hungry through the distribution of dry ration food commodities as a response to support the improvised rural communities to ensure access to food for fasting.
