A humanitarian service dedicated to serve the disabled Sri Lankans with loving kindness, the Meththa Foundation-UK (MF) started in 1994 as a small but closely knit association of expatriate professional Sri Lankans in the UK. Some of those professionals were fully British qualified and accredited medical and technical practitioners in Rehabilitation Medicine, employed by the NHS-UK. MF gained Charity Status in the UK in 2010 (Charity Number 1135141). Today, the Foundation’s state registered sister Voluntary Service organisation in Sri Lanka, the Meththa Rehabilitation Foundation (MRF) is a well established prosthetics and orthotics service provider in that Island.

The work of MRF is pioneering and innovative. In 1994, the first Trustees of the parent Meththa Foundation-UK were aware of a long standing deficiency in rehabilitation services for Sri Lankan disabled people.

They found an opportunity to obtain large quantities of high quality, modular prosthetic and other rehabilitation equipment from the NHS-UK at no cost. Realising the immense potential to serve disadvantaged Sri Lankan people, adopting the principle ‘Waste Not-Want Not’, the Trustees began recycling those components in Sri Lanka under strict protocols to ensure safety.
