BRIDGE OF LOVE is a nonprofit organisation and a registered UK charity. It is the communitybased Christian outreach of Emmanuel Christian Fellowship (ECF). Rev. G. I. Ebenezer is our Chairman. Reaching out to the oppressed in their struggles with our Kings love, and building a bridge from the Church to the afflicted, is our mission. Bridge of Love focuses on community development in the Northern and Eastern provinces of Sri Lanka and in the tribal regions of Tamil Nadu, South India. For the past twenty four years, Bridge of Love has supported the broken and abandoned, the poor and vulnerable, widows, orphans, and the underprivileged. Educational initiatives and income generation programmes are a vital part of our long term development work. Educational initiatives and income generation programmes are a vital part of our long term development work. Our humanitarian efforts have included about 30,000 in Tsunami Relief and over 57,500 in War Relief initiatives. Most recently, we have provided flood relief to 400 impoverished Tamil families predominantly widows in some of the worst affected areas, including Trincomalee, Batticaloa, Ampara, Mullaitivu, Nuwara Eliya, Hatton, and Polonnaruwa, following the devastating floods caused by Cyclone Ditwah. We are now preparing to extend further relief to additional affected communities.

Story

Many poor Tamil children still grow up in the war‑torn north and east, in the up‑country regions of Sri Lanka, and in remote parts of Tamil Nadu, India, without access to proper schools, safe spaces or even basic facilities. Their future is limited not because they lack talent, but because they lack opportunities.

You don’t need to be rich, famous or fully grown to change someone’s life. You simply need a willing heart and the courage to take a step.

Every step you take and every pound you raise helps break the poverty cycle by giving these children access to education and hope. You’re not just walking — you’re opening doors for children who dream of a better life.

Let’s come together with purpose and compassion. Your effort can change someone’s future.
