Our Mission

Rebuidling the lives of people in Southern Sri Lanka

We are a small registered charity based in Maidstone Kent.

The Aurora Tsunami Orphanage Appeal was established by two of our founder members - Jan & Ian Linch after they were caught in the Asian tsunami whilst on holiday in the Maldives with their family over Christmas 2004.

In a little over 2 years the Charity has raised over £260,000 and put it to work in the following way. We have purchased 5 acres of land near Kosgoda and have now completed an entire village comprising 40 houses, 5 shops, a school and a community centre. With the completion of the village the work of the Charity is not however over . It is estimated that over 30,000 people in Sri Lanka are still homeless , many hundreds of whom live in the Kosgoda area. The Charity is therefore committed to provide housing towards the alleviation of poverty in the Kosgoda area.

We have achieved a lot in a short time but there is still much to be done - all of the Charity workers are volunteers and you can therefore be sure that your donations will go directly to the work of the Charity.
