Self Help Model Community
for Sri Lanka’s (tsunami affected)
South
OBJECTIVE:
We
intend to build a self help community with approximately 40
houses and an Home for the Age which would consist of between
80 – 100 bed facility with Recreational area, shrine room,
dinning hall, common / meeting rooms etc to who have been directly
affected by the tsunami.
|
LOCATION:
The organizers have been in Sri Lanka for over 4 weeks and scouted
out many properties out of which they chose a 3 acre property
which was handed over by the Govt. of Sri Lanka to the Sri Lanka
Fund to commence construction. This property which is only 100
meters from some of the damaged houses (minimal re-location
burden) and also the close proximity to the main road were some
of the key elements the organizers considered when selecting
the land from the government.
The organizers have been promised a 2 acre plot of land to consider
the second project, which is to build a Home for the Elderly who have
been affected by the Tsunami. This property which is situated in a
suburb of the capital of Colombo (Kotte) is considered ideal because
of the facilities and the medical care that are at proximity for the elderly.

LEGAL STRUCTURE:
We have created a non profit corporation in Sri Lanka. The Government of Sri Lanka has
transferred authority of the land to the trustees and the fund that have been appointed
by the U.S. non profit organization.
