This fund raiser is for our annual sponsored walk for the disabled which is orgnaised by the trustees of the foundation. This year we have chosen Okehampton in Devon for our walks. Most of the 64 walkers are senior or retired doctors .

Please give generously because that will help a disabled human being to enjoy a better quality of life. The Meththa Foundation JustGiving portal will be the easiest way to donate and allow gift aid to be collected automatically. A gift aid declaration will increase the value of your donation by 25%.

Our Meththa Foundation-UK is a registered charity. ( UK Charity No 1135141). Our sister organization, founded in 1994 and formally registered in 2010, facilitates physical rehabilitation of the disabled in Sri Lanka. In the war-torn area alone, nearly 5000 amputees were resulted from the civil war. Approximately 20,000 people in Sri Lanka are amputees.

In the National Hospital alone, approximately 800 amputations are performed annually. In peacetime, diabetes and injuries, such as road traffic accidents, are the most common causes of amputations. Sri Lanka's National Health Service does not provide satisfactory prosthetic rehabilitation services. Due to the high cost of private prostheses, amputees without prostheses become dysfunctional individuals.

In addition to providing artificial limbs and appliances to children with neurological disabilities and muscular dystrophies, our services have evolved to fill this void gradually in many districts of the Island.
