History

In 1999, Nandarani Devi saw the necessity to establish a program to care for children who were orphaned or poverty-stricken in Sri Lanka. In desperation, she decided to take in 23 children from the Trincomalee district into her own home, providing them food, clothing and medical care. Nandarani rented two houses in Colombo, one for the boys and one for the girls, and took the children to the local temple for meals and schooling.

Today, Gokulam – Bhaktivedanta Children’s Home acts as a benchmark for service organizations around the country. It’s quality driven comprehensive care is a demonstration of the high standards other institutions strive to attain.
