ARC-EN-CIEL (DEDUNU) have been providing services to underprivileged newborns and children for the past 34 years as an authorized charity, with a particular focus on single moms and parents with drug addiction who reside in and around Sri Lanka’s capital city. ARC-EN-CIEL (DEDUNU) was founded in1990s. It is a well-established organization that has been listed as a guarantee limited since 1991. It prioritizes continuity, quality, and good management over expansion. We are providing care for about 35 children, ranging in age from three weeks to three and a half years. Our organization is registered as an authorized charity and has obtained the necessary licenses and certifications from the relevant Sri Lankan government authorities.

Many of our parents are struggling mightily to find even one square meal a day to sustain themselves or their child, especially the impoverished. According to statistics, Sri Lanka’s malnutrition rate has risen to as high as 60%. A large number of the children we feed are without any fixed abode. Most of the fathers being addicted to drugs and the victims are the mother and the child. Many of them are low educated laborers who earn less than Rs.1000/- a day as housemaids or in insecure small businesses in our area.
