Recovering
from a state of war, Sri Lankan society still suffers from its
effects. Unplanned development activities detrimental to the
average people and the harmful effects caused by 20 years of
civil unrest has has had its impact on this Island nation. To
add to this, the gap between the rich and the poor expands,
so is the violence and crime in the society.
Dedunu is a haven for victims and potential victims, the
single mothers and little children of this society. The only
day care service which takes in children as young as 1 ½
months, Dedunu endeavours to protect them from the non productive
and harmful activities in their community, especially the
drug trade and child sexual abuse, until the age of 12, the
time they are able to raise their voices against such. |
