Together with partner Arthacharya, we built a community centre in the south-east of Sri Lanka. The centre houses a day care centre, serves as a training centre and houses the micro-finance office.

The Kings Revival Children's Home opened in 2005 and takes care of abandoned and orphaned children by offering support and shelter. The Vebego Foundation has built an additional residential building at this Children's Home for around 20 boys.

The Vebego Foundation was involved with the Sambodhi Institute in Baddegama from 2010 to 2012.

This is a facility where about 70 physically challenged women live with two caretakers. When we were first shown the residential buildings and sanitary facilities in 2009, they were in poor condition. The roof was leaking and the sleeping quarters were very dark.

After consultation with the caretakers, the Vebego Foundation renovated the residential buildings and the kitchen, built an infirmary and constructed a corridor linking the buildings. All of the furniture was also repainted.

Thanks to financial donations, the building volunteers were able to provide a new water tank, kitchen equipment and cleaning supplies, among other things.

In June 2013, a fire destroyed part of the residential building. Other parties then took up the cause, which meant that the Foundation did not donate to the renovation.

The Senehasa Senior Home is a care home in Baddegama for abandoned elderly people.

Currently, 35 seniors with no children to care for them live at the senior home. They enjoy their senior years in lovely surroundings.

Together with the initiator, healthcare institution Sevagram in Heerlen, four residential buildings have been realised, a wall has been built around the property and fences have been built around the grounds.

For responsible and sustainable operation, business plans were written in 2011 by participants in Vebego's Strategic Management Course together with local stakeholders and based on local needs and opportunities.

As a result, the management of Senehasa Senior Home decided to start a farm in the area. A successful impulse is the promotion and activation of 'dana'1. By now, 80% of the food supply comes from dana. After four years, the Senahasa Senior Home is an example in the southern region and has been officially acknowledged by the government.
