Navajeevana is one of Sri Lanka’s pioneer organizations for disability that offers rehabilitative services and champions disability rights on a national scale. Founded in 1987 by Kumarini Wickramasuriya, the effort began as a small pre-school with fifteen children and three volunteers, but has since grown to a donor funded non-profit organization delivering services in the South and Eastern provinces or Sri Lanka with headquarters based Tangalle. Navajeevana also provides aid to areas of special impact – communities still recovering from the war and Indian Ocean Tsunami, where many lost their families and livelihoods.
