ABOUT US

CHRF UK is a charity (registration No 1138753) founded by a group of volunteers,
soon after the war that ended in 2009 in Srilanka.

Our Mission

Children's Hunger Relief Fund UK is a non- profit Organisation with a mission to connect people through lending our services to alleviate poverty and empower people affected by internal conflict in North and East part of Sri Lanka.

We aim to achieve this by helping widows with children, parents who are disabled and families with children living below poverty line, with suitable livelihood projects, to enable them to be self-sufficient and to be able to look after their children.

Our Vision

CHRF-UK is a non –profitable organisation with a mission to connect people through lending our services to alleviate poverty caused by internal conflict. We value family, education, a strong work ethic and success. Hunger is an enemy to this. Eradicating hunger in order to allow children to succeed in their education is our vision.

Our History

Having been founded in 2009, with the humble ambition of providing milk, food, clothing and help with education to the families and children affected by the war, we quickly expanded to encourage families to do self-earning projects. Over the last 6 years, we have grown from providing milk powder to building water facilities, aiding in the construction of wards in a hospital and now helping disabled people with their livelihood projects. 

The objectives and underlying principles of our work are to promote and provide the primary benefit to the wider public including the relief of hunger, advancement of education and improved sanitation facilities for the orphans and poor children in North and East of Srilanka. By providing these facilities we aim to meet the beneficiaries’ needs so that they can have a stable foundation in which to grow up in and become fully functional members of their community in Sri Lanka.
