Since 1972 · Sri Lanka
For over fifty years we have walked alongside Sri Lanka's poorest communities — bringing hope through God's Word and compassionate action in education, nutrition, mission and leadership.
Our story
In 1972, Cynthia and Alfred Devadason came upon hundreds of families living as squatters along the canal banks of Colombo. They didn't look away. A few years later, a small garage became the Good News Club — and thirty children found a place where they were fed, taught, and loved.
Five decades on, that same conviction — that every life has immeasurable worth — reaches 400+ villages, from the city to the tea estates of the hill country.
Walk through our historyWhat we do
We care for the whole person — spirit, mind and body — through four programs that work together in every community we serve.
