The Tsunami disaster in December 2004  destroyed the complete livelihood of many people in Sri Lanka. A lot of them lost their families, homes and working places. In the following time many organisation started to support the reconstruction of the destroyed regions financially, with material and manpower. 

But the support has decreased and many helpers left Sri Lanka again. Still, the problems of the country remain. Especially when it comes to environmental and educational issues, there's a serious lack of sustainaible projects.

The Nature Conservation Society (NCS) is an environmental NGO from Sri Lanka that aims to support the locals in harmony with humans and nature. To realise this task many projects concerning environmental conservation and education were started.

In 2006, the NCS was able to build and open the Education Development Centre (EDC) in Aluthgama with the funding of a sponsor. The educational centre allows children from poor or tsunami affected families to participate in English and computer classes free of charge. Additionally, environmental education programmes are organised for the locals (Environmental Awareness).

The Nature Conservation Society is a nonprofit organisation, that reaches its aims thanks to donations and the commitment of voluntary helpers. The "Nature Volunteers Programme" offers volunteers from all over the world a unique opportunity to live in a foreign country, to broaden their horizon, to develop their personality and to meet a fascinating culture in a magnificent landscape while helping other people and the nature in Sri Lanka.

Of course, financial help is also needed and very welcome. With an "Educational Sponsorship", you can help our program to sustainibly improve the education of children from disadvantaged families and thereby ensure their professional future.
