Once in a lifetime is a UK Registered Charity No: 1112679 and have had our registered charitable status since January 2006.
Bringing relief of poverty to people who have so little that any help makes a difference, we have achieved this to date by the numerous projects we have successfully accomplished and the difference we have made to many lives has been testament to our vision and we will continue with this work.
We do not use any funding on overheads or expenses other than on our causes and we hope to be able to continue with this principle. This is what is different about our charity. Our entire committee pays their own travel and other expenses as we see it as part of our commitment to our cause.
This man lost a leg about 10 years ago in an accident. He was working as a stone cutter when a large boulder fell on his leg. He cannot afford to pay for the artificial leg.
He now cannot work and lives with his wife in Jayanthipura near Pollonaruwa.
OIAL can arrange for him to go to The Centre for the Handicapped and we are looking for a sponsor.
The cost of an above the knee limb is Rs98,000 approx £270. This is the cost of fitting limb and the training required after being fitted with the limb.
