What we are

Small beginnings. Lasting change.

One Child Foundation began as a private sponsorship plan among friends and family and grew into a charity supporting children, schools, university students and parents across Sri Lanka.

🍲

Feeding Children

Supporting nutritional meals for children and helping communities address childhood hunger.

📚

Educating Children

Funding education because learning gives children a practical route out of deprivation.

🎓

University Students

Helping promising young people continue into higher education and build independent futures.

🤝

Helping Parents

Backing families with practical initiatives that strengthen self-reliance and household resilience.

Why education matters

Breaking the cycle of deprivation

Education opens doors that poverty tries to close. Alongside nutrition and family support, it gives children the confidence and opportunity to shape their own future.

Our work has included school sponsorship, university support, pre-school nutrition and practical livelihood projects for families and orphanages.

Children supported through education

At the end of our lives, we will not be judged by how many diplomas we received, how much money we made or how many great things we did. We will be judged by how many people we fed, how many people we clothed and how many homeless we took in.

Helping parents

Parents are the first teachers of a child.

Supporting parents helps children far beyond the classroom. One Child Foundation has funded practical projects designed to strengthen family livelihoods and improve nutrition.

  • Livestock projects for orphanages

Give a child a stronger future.
