"Children are the livewires of the world for they are the future, who will build up the world of tomorrow". (Child Protection Policy manual of Caritas Sri Lanka). Therefore it is our responsibility to nurture and protect them from social evils and provide a safe and peaceful environment for them to grow up.

Therefore being mindful of the importance of promotion and creation of a protective environment for today's children of Sri Lanka, Caritas Sri Lanka - SEDEC, through its Justice and Good Governance Desk, took the initiative to formula a Child Protection Policy in consultation with the Catholic Bishops' Conference, the Caritas Diocesan Centres in Sri Lanka, Human Rights Consultants and Academics with the kind financial assistance of CAFOD.

Kapparatota is a small village in the Divisional Secretariat Division of Weligama in the Matara District. This small village was completely ruined by the tidal waves of the tsunami disaster.

The Urban Council of Weligama has been using 18 acres of land in Kapparatota area as a dump yard for the solid waste of the Weligama City. The Urban Council with the assistance of Caritas SED-Galle decided to install a garbage recycling project inclusive of a waste managing system to minimize the pollution in this city. Further it was decided to setup a model farm using 4 acres of the same land for the production of organic compost manure. Caritas SED-Galle provided more than 2,000 seeds/plants worth about Rs.45, 000/= to be grown in this land. The produce of this is to be sold to the public at the gate.
