Working to improve the lives of children disadvantaged by war and poverty in Sri Lanka

Home

Shining Life Children's Trust (also known
as Dylana Jeevanthe Children's Trust)
works to improve the lives of
disadvantaged children in Sri Lanka. Our
focus is on the family. Through working
with families and the communities in
which they live we aim to build a
sustainable and brighter future for the
children.

We believe that real and sustainable
development is a process in which people
change their own lives by their own
efforts. To achieve this we work in
partnership with local Sri Lankan
organisations.

Shining Life Children’s Trust is staffed
entirely by volunteers ensuring that over
98% of your donation goes directly to our
work in Sri Lanka.
