About Child Rehabitation Centre
Children who have been affected by war, poverty, suffered neglect, abused at the hands of adults deserve a second chance. The CRC is striving to make this happen. Through specific objectives such as organizing projects, training programs, seminars to name a few which will give these young ones the opportunity to enjoy an education, good health and a safe home environment, things they thought existed only in a dream.
The CRC is a Non-Governmental non-religious and non political, non-profit organization comprising committed men and women who see a need to reach out and help those disadvantaged due to the prevailing conflict within the country.
A ray of hope was beamed forth for such disadvantaged ones, when on the 23 rd of December 1998 with direct involvement of many organizations at village level the Child Rehabilitation Centre was formed and continued operations as a Community Based Organization until it was registered with the District Planning Secretarial in Ampara as an NGO in 2003.
