Sowing Seeds of Change for a Brighter Sri Lanka

Sivan Arul Illam

A haven of hope for Sri Lanka's children

Nurturing Hope, Building Futures, and Transforming Lives Since 2005

Sivan Arul Illam, the cornerstone of the Sivan Arul Foundation, stands as a beacon of hope for Sri Lanka’s most vulnerable children. Born from the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami, our journey began with a simple yet profound mission: to provide a nurturing home for children who had lost both parents.

What started as a shelter for 25 tsunami-orphaned children in 2005 has blossomed into a haven of care and opportunity for over 180 children today. Located in the serene surroundings of Thiruketheeswaram, Mannar, Sivan Arul Illam is more than just a children’s home – it’s a place where young lives are transformed, dreams are nurtured, and futures are built.

Our commitment goes beyond providing basic necessities. At Sivan Arul Illam, we believe in holistic development, focusing on education, emotional well-being, and personal growth. Each child in our care is given the tools, support, and love they need to overcome their challenging beginnings and stride confidently towards a brighter future.

From our main children’s home to our newly established hostel, Sivan Arul Illam stands as a testament to the power of compassion and the transformative impact of community support. Here, amidst the laughter, learning, and shared dreams, we’re not just changing lives – we’re shaping the future of Sri Lanka, one child at a time.

Join us on this journey of hope and transformation. Discover how Sivan Arul Illam is making a difference and how you can be a part of this incredible story of resilience, growth, and endless possibility.
