Children's Homes
Renovation in Boys’ Home
In May we undertook important building and renovation works to upgrade the sanitary facilities at a home for disabled boys and young men in the Polonnaruwa area. This is a home which we have supported from time to time in the past with donations of food and living essentials. On a visit in the New Year we could see that the sanitary facilities were in a poor state with the 40 boys and young men sharing one indoor toilet because the others were broken. They were also having to make do with a single shower for everyone.
We found a contractor to undertake the installation of a new shower and toilet block. We paid for the project and Suminda from the Brighter Path team oversaw the works. We are very pleased with the outcome. There are now three showers and three toilets. This is making an incomparable difference to the dignity and welfare of those living in this home.
