Kansarmen SL Foundation, derived from the Dutch word “Kansarmen” meaning "under-privileged," has been a dedicated water and sanitation solution provider for rural schools and disadvantaged communities in Sri Lanka since 2005. The Foundation is an initiative born from a Dutch organisation, Stichting Kansarmen Sri Lanka.
Stichting Kansarmen Sri Lanka was founded in The Netherlands in 2004 by a Dutch volunteer Mr. Jan Van Der Steen, following the devastating tsunami. The organisation's primary aim was to increase access to safe drinking water and sanitation for school children and communities in rural Sri Lanka.
Over the years, with direct funding and support from The Netherlands, we have successfully completed over 300 water and sanitation facilities for schools, communities, and homes for the elderly and disabled people. This success is attributed to our highly committed local team, whose efforts have made a significant impact on improving the lives of the under-privileged.
Recognizing the necessity of a local presence to continue our mission effectively, Kansarmen SL Foundation (KSLF) was officially registered in Sri Lanka as a Company Limited by Guarantee (Not for Profit) in 2010, under the Company’s Act, No.7 of 2007 (Company registration Number: GA 2497).
In 2015, Kansarmen SL Foundation was registered as a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) at the Secretariat for Non-Governmental Organizations in the Ministry of Policy Planning, Economic Affairs, Youth and Cultural Affairs, Colombo (Registration No: L-153305). This registration marked a significant milestone in our journey, enabling us to expand our reach and impact further.
