Donate to our fundraiser to protect Sri Lanka’s children and champion family-based care

Sri Lanka is grappling with a heartbreaking reality. Thousands of children are forced to grow up away deprived of the love of their families. The current economic crisis has exacerbated an already dire situation, forcing parents into the agonising position of placing their children in institutional care. 

The numbers reveal a grim picture. In 2019, a staggering 10,632 children were forced to live in childcare institutions. This figure is particularly alarming given the fact that 92.1% of these children have at least one living parent. These children are not orphaned by fate, but by socio-economic distress. iProbono Sri Lanka needs your help to ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive within a loving family. We believe that by prioritising family-based care, we can break the cycle of institutionalisation and build a brighter future for the children of our nation. 

Donate to our fundraiser to advocate for a comprehensive system of support that strengthens families and prevents unnecessary separations between parents and children.
