Building work commenced on the 25th of April 2005 and was opened in November 2005.
There are now 27 girls living in the home which was The Ireland Sri Lanka Orphanage Funds first project. This was one of the largest projects built within the first anniversary of the tsunami.

All funds raised went directly into these projects, none of this money was spent on overheads. |
