Evelyn Nurseries - Kandy
Evelyn Nurseries, founded in 1928 by the late Ms. Lena Chapman, has faithfully served as a sanctuary of hope and compassion for young girls from less privileged backgrounds. For over 94 years, this institution has been committed to providing shelter, nourishment, safety, education, and holistic care, offering these children not only their basic needs but also opportunities for growth and recreation.
The girls receive their education at well-regarded institutions such as Hillwood College, Gothami Vidyalaya, and Mowbray College, ensuring they have access to quality learning environments. In addition, Evelyn Nurseries runs a Day Care Centre during weekdays, supported by two dedicated matrons who help nurture younger children in a safe and caring atmosphere.
The Diocese continues to support this mission by organizing spiritual guidance, educational workshops, and developmental sessions to uplift and empower each child in their care.
Despite the broader economic challenges faced across the country, the Diocese continues to manage the needs of Evelyn Nurseries with care and responsibility. Rising costs have required thoughtful planning and stewardship, but through the continued support of the church community and well-wishers, we remain fully committed to providing for the children with consistency, dignity, and compassion.
Through faith, compassion, and the generous support of well-wishers, Evelyn Nurseries remains deeply committed to its mission of shaping brighter futures for the girls entrusted to us.
