BUILDING LIVES. BUILDING OPPORTUNITIES.
We provide a loving home across 4 locations in Sri Lanka to 250 people with disabilities in order to develop their abilities and independence.
What is Prithipura Communities?
Prithipura Communities is a non-governmental, non-profit organisation. We provide a home to some of the most vulnerable in Sri Lanka; those with disabilities who have little or no family contact. We offer support regardless of ethnicity, religion or financial means. We currently support 250 children and adults with disabilities.
​
We believe in the intrinsic value of all humans regardless of disability and that people with disabilities should have equal access to a family life, education, work opportunities and community integration. We believe that people with disabilities should also have the freedom to make independent choices and ultimately live a life free of stigma.
