If you would like to leave a positive mark in one corner of the world by touching the lives of homeless children, volunteering to work in a Sri Lankan orphanage is an excellent opportunity for you. For several years, our partner organizations in Sri Lanka have run orphanages – giving hope for kids who have been displaced, abandoned, and abused. Orphanage volunteer programs in Sri Lanka were designed to provide a brighter future to these disadvantaged, innocent children. By simply volunteering, teaching conversational English, or being a special, caring friend, you are able to give these children something they have not known—hope.

Our volunteers lead the children in a variety of activities — from school lessons to games. Most of the time you will live with the orphans as a family member. Although this is not necessarily a teaching placement, you may teach conversational English during your stay. Also, our volunteers are expected to engage the children in educational activities and games, and may be asked to help with various health or sanitation needs. Our Sri Lanka volunteer orphanage programs allow you to personally take children by the hand and guide them in the proper direction, giving them a small glimpse of a future where despair is replaced by hope.
