Care for Lanka

Why We Exist

Care for Lanka is a dedicated nonprofit organization committed to uplifting underserved communities in Sri Lanka. Our mission focuses on providing essential support in education, health and nutrition, ensuring that every person has access to opportunities for growth and a better life.


Through our various programs, we strive to create a lasting, positive impact on the lives of many across Sri Lanka.


In 2024 and 2025, we are focusing on vision care and education with our local on-the-ground partners in Sri Lanka.

Sight for Life

We tare proud to work with SLACO (Sri Lanka Association of Community Ophthalmologists) and Uplift Lanka to facilitate cataract surgeries, whereby restoring sight and hope to those in need. Additionally, we and our local partners are helping school children by providing eyeglasses, enabling them to see and learn better.

Education for a Better Future

We sponsor students from low-income families, helping them to stay in school and continue their education. We support their parents with stipends to cover the costs of school uniforms and supplies, and, in some cases transport to school and back. We do this by working directly with schools who have approached us for assistance to help their underprivileged students to remain in school despite their families' financial means.
