About us
“FRIENDS LANKA CHILD FOUNDATION” (FLCF) is incorporated as a local Non Governmental Organization registered under Registrar of Companies and with the NGO secretariat under Ministry of Defense and Urban Development. The organization emerged from the Sri Lanka Mission of Friends Kinderhilfe International e.V. (FKI) which had been established in Sri Lanka since 2004. Since then it had been carrying out number of projects for the under-privileged Tsunami affected children and their families. Even though as per the recent decisions of the FKI Head Office in Germany not to implement any new projects in Sri Lanka in the name of FKI Sri Lanka Mission anymore has agreed to act as a funding agency whenever needed. Hence the local team of FKI Sri Lanka Mission has decided to become an independent local NGO. With many years of experiences in implementing projects in Sri Lanka has encouraged FLCF to set up its new organization with new projects. FLCF believes that the long years of services of workforce will be very useful to the organization to have as the local team with good experience to build strong relationships with the local authorities. Therefore surely this will be the best team committed to build up this independent local organization to serve the poor children in Sri Lanka in a very sustainable way.

Yeah, we are stepping towards one of the special seasons. #Christmasseason, as we celebrate the joy and warmth of the holidays, let’s come together to make a meaningful difference. Hebrews 13:16 encourages us to do good things and share kindness with others. FLCF believes it is the true meaning of Christmas. Receiving is always challenging, but when we share the things we have with others, it brings love into the world. Every gift, no matter the size, can light up someone’s holiday and give them the comfort of knowing they’re not alone. Join us in spreading love and kindness to those who need it most. Together, we can make this season truly special for children at the underprivileged level. #flcflanka

Yes, why nutrition? It is one of the main topics of the parliament this week. Day before Yesterday (4, September), a report presented to Parliament; revealed that one-third of Sri Lanka's children are suffering from malnutrition. Even though we named the year 2022 as the crisis year, we still have economic hardships and food losses that remain a big problem in the country. Our aim of nutrition programs is to feed children and teach them the importance of nutrition and healthy meals. Food science is a critically important subject area; therefore, as a childcare organization, we believe that it is essential to create awareness among both children and parents about food security, the value of proteins, healthy breakfasts, home gardening, etc. FLCF has taken actions in promoting nutrition in our Child Guidance Centers and will continue the nutrition program in 2022. We invite all government and private institutes to initiate on food science and nutrition consultation with local communities and other partners. #flcflanka #nutritionprogram #mulnutrition #food #healthymeals
