The Meththa Foundation - UK
UK Registered Charity Number 1135141
Dedicated to serving disabled people in Sri Lanka
Meththa Foundation was inaugurated in Birmingham in 1995 by a small group of Sri Lankans domiciled in the UK, for the sole purpose of serving disabled people in Sri Lanka. The word Meththa means Loving Kindness and we are on a mission to deliver our services with love and kindness to anyone in Sri Lanka, without exceptions, who needs our help.
Our membership
We are a UK registered Charity. There is no formal registration for membership of Meththa Foundation. Anyone who has an interest in our objectives is free to join in our charitable activities.
We will co-opt volunteers from time to time for specific tasks. Invitations will be posted at this web site when a need arises.
We are supported by many NHS Rehabilitation Centres in the UK and the leading UK Prosthetics and Orthotics companies contracted to provide services at these centres.
Our objective
Our immediate objective is to provide artificial limbs to people in need, predominantly but not exclusively in the Vanni region, who lost their limbs as a result of the ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka and help in their physical rehabilitation
In the long term, we aim to establish at least three Rehabilitation Centres of Excellence in areas in Sri Lanka where they are most needed and undertake rehabilitation of all types of chronic disabling conditions.
