World Vision Sri Lanka
A brief about the organization
World Vision Lanka (WVL) was established in 1977, starting with small scale revolving loan programmes and moving into short-term community development projects. In 1996 World Vision launched its Area Development Programmes (ADP) in the country and this is now WVL’s main programmatic approach.
The ADP has a life span of 12-15 years and is an integrated approach to community development, emphasizing the process of community participation, ownership and sustainability, while addressing the macro and micro causes of poverty.
WVL also has Humanitarian Emergency Relief and Rehabilitation Programmes and Special Projects for street children.
