Ceylon Christian Care

 

 

Welcome to the website of Ceylon Christian Care

 

Ceylon Christian Care is a Dutch charity foundation dedicated to supporting poor and destitute people in the Tamil area of Sri Lanka. This area of Sri Lanka has been involved in a devastating civil war that lasted for more than 25 years and killed about 100.000 people. In  April 2009 this war came to an end.

Ceylon Christian Care was founded in 2003 and is involved in a variety of projects, which are mostly focused on orphans, of which there are thousands in this area, and widows. Examples of projects include orphanages, widows’ projects, day care centers, and education support. All projects are concentrated in Batticaloa and Periyaneelavanai.

The Tsunami caused a major acceleration of the activities of Ceylon Christian Care. Because Ceylon Christian Care was one of the very few organizations that was already active in the area when the Tsunami occurred, major relief support programs were started immediately, also with help of partner organizations such as Word and Deed. 

Ceylon Christian Care works closely together with the Church of American Ceylon Mission (CACM).
