Founded in 1972, Fridsro Children's Home (FCH) has become a place of refuge for orphaned and underprivileged children in Sri Lanka. Over the last 30 years, hundreds of children have found new hope and a new beginning for their lives.

Based on Christian principles, FCH is the result of the need realized by Swedish missionary Anna Greta Perera when she arrived on the island in 1969. Anna Greta and her husband Rev. Jacob Perera started FCH by simply reaching out to street kids and orphans.

The goal and desire of the staff at FCH is to care for the overall needs of a child. The children at FCH are resident and stay at the home until they are old enough to support themselves or until they can be reintegrated with their guardians. During their time at the home, the children receive medical attention, healthy food, education, tuition classes as well as sports activities, music and dancing. They also participate in various other social activities.
