Story

We are fundraising for this wonderful charity again this year. Sri Lanka is going through a difficult period and the ill & the disabled are struggling. The Meththa Foundation is a charity which supplies artificial limbs, wheelchairs and other aids free of charge to amputees and the disabled in Sri Lanka who cannot afford them.  This includes children with significant neurological disorders. Many Srilankans in the U.K. hold fundraising events every year to raise funds for this worthy cause. One of these events are taking place in the second weekend in May 2022.

Rajitha and  I are taking part in two sponsored walks  in Somerset for the Meththa Foundation on the 7th & 8th of May. Please sponsor our walks. You will make a big difference to the lives of many.

Their work is provided through two well equipped centres in Mahawa & Mankulam. They also have a mobile workshop to provide an outreach service to remote areas. 

Their annual expenditure in Sri Lanka is approximately 20 million rupees. In the UK, about £20,000 is needed annually to purchase and sea freight consumables and equipment needed for this work.  They obtain most of this equipment as donations from many rehabilitation centres in the UK.  Their Motto is WASTE NOT-WANT NOT.  Accordingly, costs are kept low by optimally recycling materials and employing a very active research and development programme to fabricate their own components using appropriate low cost technology. 

Please support us in our endeavour generously. Thank you for your kindness! Amali & Rajitha
