A blink of hope for disadvantaged children in Sri Lanka
Established in 1977, our primary objective is to care for needy children under12 years of age and bring them up in a Buddhist environment.
The Mahanuwara Lamarakshaka Bauddha Samithiya is a society registered with the State and offers residential care for disadvantaged children for the State. Admissions and handing over of children is processed entirely by the Department of Social Welfare, Probation and Child Care Services.
This is to announce that Mahanuwara Lamaarakshka Bauddha Samithiya (MLBS) is having its Annual General Meeting on June 25th, 2023 at 9:30 am. Members are kindly requested to participate on this event.
