Once in a Lifetime (www.oialcharity.org) celebrates 20 years of Charity Work and is still going strong.

Over that period of time the charity gave help to the victims of the Tsunami and then moved on to help needy people to improve over 1000 very basic houses, with little or no facilities, built and improved many pre-schools and rural clinics, we also assisted with building works in Children’s and Elderly homes, sunk wells and assisted with electricity connections.

On the medical front we paid for cataract operations, limb replacements and rehabilitation work with wheelchairs and walking aids.

The charity has also sponsored children with schoolbooks,meals, plants, toys, and musical instruments. Recently we have donated hundreds of food packs in a time when families have been finding it difficult to cope with the cost of living and food shortages amongst the many other projects to help the needy in Sri Lanka
