Plan Sri Lanka: what we do

Plan’s work in Sri Lanka covers 5 key areas, all of which are rooted in the rights of the child:

• healthy start in life
• quality education
• protective environments for children
• household economic security for children’s well-being
• child-centered disaster risk management

Plan Sri Lanka works to improve the nutrition and development of children aged under 5 years old. Our target groups include adolescents (primarily girls), women of reproductive age, pregnant women and other caregivers.

We use health promotion, which provides spaces for community members and empowers them to own and participate fully in initiatives to improve their health, as the basis of all our interventions.

Plan Sri Lanka

Plan has been working in Sri Lanka since 1981, on the invitation of the national government. We work with nearly 20,000 sponsored children and around 125,000 marginalized children in close to 270 rural communities across 7 districts.

Plan’s programmes are carried out through 4 Programme Units (PUs): the North Central PU in the rural, drought-affected, agrarian districts of Anuradhapura; the Central PU comprising Kandy, Matale and Nuwara Eliya; the Uva PU comprising the districts of Moneragala and Ampara in the Eastern Province; and the newly started Eastern Programme Office in Batticaloa district.

We work in partnership with local and national governments and civil society organisations to sustain improvements in children’s lives.
