About Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is an island republic located off the Indian subcontinent. It is home to 20 million people from diverse ethnic backgrounds of which the majority in Singhalese Buddhist.

Sri Lanka has been the ground of vicious ethnic conflict for over two decades. The war has brought about untold suffering and the loss of over 100,000 lives. In 2004, the coastal areas of the island were battered by the fierce Asian Tsunami, claiming over 40,000 lives. The waves also took away livelihoods, homes and belongings, marring the souls of the living.

In a land where all hope seems to be lost, we endeavour to reach out to the needy, amidst challenges and religious persecution, by bringing hope and proclaiming the good news to the poor.
