About Navajeevana
Every since our inception in 1987
Navajeevana has been the primary organisation
working with people with disabilities in the Hambantota district of
southern Sri Lanka.
Our Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) programme is
at the heart of
Navajeevana’s approach. This is supported by a strong
institutional based multidisciplinary approach that includes therapy
and education to support all forms of disability.
Our vision
People with disabilities as equal participating members of a non-
discriminating society.
Our mission
To promote the inclusion and rights of people with
disabilities by enabling and empowering them through a holistic
community-based approach, and to prevent disabilities through education
Our values

We believe every person is valuable and should have the opportunity to
achieve their potential.

with special emphasis on women, children and the elderly, and promote
