A Goal Worth Working For

Give Mobility to the Children of Sri Lanka

Below are some of the children we have helped so far through the generosity of sponsors and supporters.

Meththa America supports the provision of modern rehabilitation services for disabled children in Sri Lanka. These services include customized artificial limbs, mobility devices, and posture-support equipment fabricated by the Meththa Foundation using innovative, cost-effective technologies.

Through global sponsorships, we have helped several children regain mobility and independence over the past years. Our inspiration and partner, the Meththa Foundation, has been serving communities in Sri Lanka since 1994. Donations directly fund medical care and rehabilitation for children in need.
