The Chitra Lane School

There is a place, a very special place, for children with special needs, where disability is turned into ability, reliance to independence and despair turned to hope.

Our Mission

It is our goal to empower these children of Sri Lanka, in order that they can one day go out into the world to lead full and independent lives.  

Organisation Profile

In 1968 a Concerned Well Wisher with just two children formed the beginnings of the Chitra Lane School/Resource Centre. As the group increased this group was registered with the government in 1970 as the "Welfare Society for the School for the Mentally Subnormal Child". With a tremendous amount of dedication, and a vision to assist the intellectually impaired of the country regardless of their ethnic, religious and socioeconomic background, the Welfare Society's humble beginnings have been transformed over the years to its present status. During the past 32 years a highly professional and comprehensive package of services, including health, education, parental guidance, social integration and vocational training has been built, catering to 250 day school going children and about 1000 children attending the Resource Centre, from throughout the country. Both categories consisting those from the poorest of the poor.
