Millions of people live in extreme poverty, without any hope or future. They often live in meager huts, in slum areas under truly appalling conditions; without clean drinking water, and often without any belongings. They are left in the lurch by their own people and the international community. A hut of straw or simple boards or reused cardboard does not protect from the Monsoons. They may have some simple clothes, just one pot for cooking and some plastic cups. Lacking even a mattress, they are forced to sleep on the damp ground. With no employment opportunities, their outlook is often desperate. With all our wealth, the poor condition of these families is incomprehensible.
Orange Angel is helping the poorest people in Sri Lanka. In a structural way we lifting people from their poverty. Because a roof over one's head gives self-esteem and hope for a new future. We are not a government agency, not a large Non Government Organisation (NGO), but a small organization that is completely objective which can work effectively , without intermediaries. We ensure that nothing diverts the effort: We finance and build ourselves, keeping everything under own control for direct result. Currently there are nearly 50 houses built, which host more than 200 poverty-stricken people, who again have hope and faith in the future.
Orange Angel focuses primarily in the area around the village of Kosgoda, about two hours drive from the Sri Lanka's capital city, Colombo.
