Like all the developing countries,Sri Lanka has a range of needs in areas
such as housing,
unemployment,traumatized victims of violence and a lack of appropriate services

The Brothers of Charity in both Britain and Ireland are,with the assistance of University College
Galway
and others agencies seeking to address areas where we can be of assistance,both
professionally
and financially. We are seeking support and funding from the European
Community as well as other
Organizations and individuals.
Detailed research of local need
was undertaken by the late Broter Peter Sheehy, the first Director of
Nisansala, Brother
Michael O'Malley and Martin O'Neil.
Following their research findings and subsequent
recommendations, we built a residential and day
centre at Nisansala - (The Sinhala word for tranquility)
in Ja-Ela.
At that time we considered the centre appropriate to meet the needs of our service users,
but it is now clear that we would have had greater impact through more sustained involvement with
families,friends and the wider community.
initiatives have included ;
local parents by developing
a children's service,which
now provides social and
educational training for
twenty children under 12
years old.
have attended for
over three years and
throught support and
training are ready to
move onto more
challenging environments.
In the last 12 months 29 persons
have left our service for further
vocational training -employment
or more appropriate training
opportunities etc.
