What we do

We believe that everyone at Grace, from the girls who live in the home to the Board Members who assist with the home’s administration, benefits from sharing our differences.

All Programs

Group Coaching Program

A group of US based volunteers dedicate their Friday evenings, between 10pm and 11pm Eastern time, to mentoring the children and trying to ascertain their goals and aspirations. The girls are split into four groups divided by age so that their particular concerns can be addressed.

Diabetes Center Care

The Rotary clubs of Ann Arbor West, USA and Trincomalee, Sri Lanka collaborated on developing a diabetes care center (DCC) using technology and trained diabetic care assistants to develop an improved model of diabetic care delivery.

Dental Program

DCI was established by Dr. Dawn McClellan and was a one-year training program to train young women to become dental assistants. DCI sponsored their education and living expenses. Four children from Grace graduated from the program, and all were offered jobs in Dental practices upon graduation. The young women who are currently working in dental offices are earning a middle-class wage and living independently. 

Solar Power

A partnership with U.S.-based nonprofit First Light supplied electricity for the orphanage’s use, and provided Grace girls with an opportunity to train for a future in solar power.

Education Program

A student from Berkeley High School initiated a program that connects Berkeley students with girls at Grace. The purpose of the initiative was to improve the English speaking abilities of Grace Girls. The students devote their Friday evenings to connect with Grace girls and help them with their English homework.
