Driving Impact: Our Program in Action
In the midst of Sri Lanka, where poverty and alcoholism once cast a shadow over children’s futures, a remarkable transformation is underway. Our project empowers children to become agents of change, fostering a community where hope and opportunity flourish.

The Heartbreaking reality: A Community in Crisis

Once vibrant, various rural communities in Sri Lankaidentified by us but often overlooked- are now grappling with severe economic downturns. Daily wage earners, the backbone of these communities, have lost jobs or seen their incomes drastically reduced. Amidst this turmoil, reports reveal a heartbreaking surge in alcohol consumption within these communities, worsening the financial strain on families by redirecting vital resources away from essential needs. Malnutrition stalks their days, while illnesses gain ground without the aid of medicines or nearby clinics. As economic woes deepen, education becomes a distant dream for many, with reports of high school dropouts echoing through the troubled air.

For children, this means facing not only hunger and educational setbacks but also the shadow of domestic violence fueled by alcohol, consequently imprinting lasting scars on young minds. Shockingly, reports of underage marriages and teenage pregnancies underscore the lack of guidance and protection for these children.

The innocent childhoods of these communities are slipping away into poverty and hopelessness, risking futures before they've even begun.

Our Promise

At ADIC, we believe every child deserves a chance to thrive. Our goal is clear: to reclaim childhoods shattered by crisis and alcohol. Through targeted interventions, we provide essential support and education, empowering children to reclaim their rights and rebuild their futures.

Success Stories: Changing Lives

• Meet Mala, Empowered by Hope

Meet Mala, a courageous 12-year-old girl whose life has been touched by our compassion. Living in the village of ……, Mala and her family once faced the harsh reality of homelessness, constantly moving and struggling to maintain stability. Her education suffered, and her father battled with alcohol, casting a shadow over their happiness. However, hope arrived through our transformative project. Mala's father, guided by the project's alcohol awareness sessions, found strength to overcome his addiction, bringing newfound peace to their home. Inspired by the project’s endeavors, Mala herself became a pillar of support, encouraging him to embrace a healthier lifestyle. With the project's assistance, their family secured a small piece of land, and Mala, empowered with newfound knowledge, not only wrote official letters to navigate challenges but also taught her siblings about children’s rights. Today, they thrive together in their own home, believing in brighter futures.

• From Struggle to Serenity: Community-wide Happiness

Our program stands as a catalyst for profound and lasting community transformation. Mothers play a central role, actively engaged in sustainable income-generating activities such as vegetable gardening and poultry farming. This initiative has successfully strengthened economic resilience across households. Families have effectively redirected savings from former habits, such as alcohol use, resulting in reduced electricity bills. Moreover, they have adopted healthier dietary choices, significantly improving daily living standards. Harmony now prevails, conflicts have diminished, and a newfound sense of peace permeates the community we serve. Empowered mothers have emerged as champions of child rights, nurturing an environment where every child can thrive. Now, the entire community enjoys a life filled with happiness and peace.
