Dear Friends,

It is truly wonderful that a few dedicated individuals with the intention of helping sick children have formed an organisation to provide assistance and much needed medical treatment. Sri Lanka is a developing country with more than one quarter of the population living below the poverty line. Everyday, we come across appeals for help in Sri Lanka media.

The DOT Charitable Foundation was started to give these children the care they deserve!

Pain suffered by children faced in this situation and their families cannot be quantified and no words can describe it. Living with illness or injury can cause enormous strain in the lives of children and their families. The pain, loneliness and isolation that sick children feel dominates their lives, and they often miss out on normal experiences that healthy children take for granted.

At present, the process involves selection of children in need that appears in newspaper articles published in Sri Lanka and directly contacting them to obtain necessary documents (Medical Certificates, etc.) required to assess the cases and prioritise the needs. After the vetting, the foundation’s executive committee will decide the required support.

Our fund raising events and activities embrace and encourage the participation of our family, friends, and community. All our members volunteer their time for this cause.

Thank you for visiting our website.
