Maranatha Children's Home, Sri Lanka

The Maranatha Children’s Home was founded in 1997 to provide a haven of love, care, and rehabilitation for vulnerable children. Out of a profound sense of God's love, we have been compelled to extend our care to orphaned and underprivileged children from diverse backgrounds, encompassing various races, creeds, colors, and religions. The inception of Maranatha Children's Home dates back to January 4, 1997, with the SLVGM Board of Trustees serving as its overseeing authority. Our institution is duly registered with the Ambagamuwa Divisional Secretariat under Company Act No. GA 189 and holds the Social Services Department Register No. 299. In close partnership with the Probation Department and the Prisons, we have established collaborations to address the needs of incarcerated children who are entrusted to us for their rehabilitation and restoration. It is a solemn realization that the issue of neglected children will persist until the return of Jesus to Earth. Thus, our ministry was aptly christened "Maranatha," a word imbued with the significance of "Jesus is coming soon." This name reflects our unwavering commitment to fostering hope and healing among the children under our care.
