Soft Flooring for Babies and Toddlers
In April 2024 we were pleased to donate 50m2 of play flooring to the Sujatha Sewana babies’ home in Bandarawella. This centre looks after newborn babies and toddlers who have been given up at birth or cannot be looked after by their mothers. It is run efficiently and lovingly by dedicated and caring staff from the Department of Child Care and Probation Services but resources are very scarce and facilities are basic. Bandarawella is in the mountains and the buildings have no heating. We were asked whether we might be able to help with flooring. Babies and toddlers are crawling and learning to walk on hard stone floors which become very cold, especially in the evening and early morning. The colourful play flooring is made of soft foam and locks together like jigsaw pieces. We are always on the look out for small interventions that can make a big difference and this will really impact the daily life of the young children at Sujatha Sewana.
