Continuing to help and partner with the Churches my father started is exciting for us. My Dad, had a passion and heart for those in Sri Lanka and it has been always been a desire of mine to start the 501©3 and support the work there and help the communities, thereby sharing the love of Christ by serving and helping others.
History
In 2009 we started the first Health Project in Sri Lanka. We partnered with a medical organization to provide health and medical aid to those Internally Displaced due to a 30 year civil war that had ravaged the north-east region of the country. We were able to fundraise through grassroots campaigning. The funds were given to the existing medical organization that was already on the ground in refugee camps, working among the internally displaced in the north east region of Sri Lanka.
This was the beginning of reaching out to partner with organizations and communities in developing countries to provide hope and relief to communities in immediate need.
Vision
To empower impoverished communities through children's education and micro businesses.
Through, The Ephraim Foundation International, we aim to provide healing, inspire hope and improve the quality of life of those in need around the world by empowering communities with access to quality education, micro-businesses and enhancing lasting infrastructures for community development.
We do provide medical care and practical humanitarian assistance through food programs during crises.
We aim to support Churches and Pastors to enable them to provide lasting spiritual and social support services and aid to their communities.
We will reach out to communities in need across developing and developed nations and build community relationships and partnerships to empower communities and create lasting impact.
