Please Support Us

CFS Prithipura Home relies on the generosity of our community to provide life-changing care. While we receive some state funding, it covers only a small portion of our costs. Private support from individuals, corporations, and foundations is essential to our mission and directly impacts the well-being of our residents.

​Monthly running costs are more than one and a half million rupees when taking into account day to day needs such as meals, salaries, electricity, water and shortfall on food that is not covered by donations. Additional funds are urgently required for maintenance and upgrading of infrastructure.

There are many ways you can make a difference:

  • Donate Funds

  • Sponsor a Meal

  • Donate Essential Items

  • Volunteer Your Time

  • Support a Resident

  • Become a Member

Your Support Matters

As a charitable organization approved under the Inland Revenue Act No 24 of 2017, donations made to the Ceylon Fellowship of Service - Prithipura Home are tax-deductible from your assessable income as a qualifying payment (up to Rs. 75,000).

State funding offsets only a small part of our costs, so private donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations are essential. The current economic situation in the country has resulted in a significant reduction in public assistance, making your support more critical than ever.
