Our story
It began with a garage and thirty children.
In 1972, Cynthia and Alfred Devadason came upon hundreds of families living as squatters along the canal banks of Colombo. They didn't look away. A few years later, a small garage became the Good News Club — and thirty children found a place where they were fed, taught, and loved.
Five decades on, that same conviction — that every life has immeasurable worth — reaches 400+ villages, from the city to the tea estates of the hill country.
