About Us
Who we are
We are an inclusive charitable organisation, and our care and support is
open to all regardless of class, caste or race.
Our Late Chairman was the Revd V F George, MBE, who sadly passed away
peacefully on 27th August 2025. He was ably assisted by his wife Hilary based
in Barnet, North London.
What we do
For over 20 years Still Waters has provided a home and hope for poor,
underprivileged and vulnerable children in Sri Lanka. Still Waters offers practical
and emotional support, giving children significance and helping them to learn
and grow in an environment of love and acceptance. They have a secure home,
receive formal education and can be involved in a wide range of training,
including garment making and computer skills.
The Still Waters family together with the community in Sri Lanka have been living with the challenge of Covid-19 since March 2020. The country has been in lockdown and under long periods of curfew, and most of the daily-paid workers are out of work and have been unemployed for several months. As a result we launched an appeal to raise funds to support poor families. We were greatly encouraged by the response from friends and supporters of Still Waters, whose generous donations totalled over £10,000. This enabled us to provide dry-ration parcels and help with utility bills for needy families in the area, some of whom had grown up at Still Waters. This fund is still open, and there are many poor families who still need help. After over 20 years at our home in Tangalle we are now on the move. Since the effect of the Corona virus children’s homes in our catchment area have temporally closed, and children have been rehoused with guardians, grandparents and/or extended family. Covid-19 has brought much fear and anxiety about children and adults living and working in residential-care settings. Since early 2020 we have been in discussion with the Probation and Childcare Services about exploring different models for the provision of care and support for children from very poor families. The model most favoured is that of care and support for poor and vulnerable children in their own families. The Still Waters Trustees in Sri Lanka and the Trustees in the UK have discussed this and are in favour of this model. Staff in Sri Lanka would visit the families to offer support. Families would be referred to Still Waters by the Probation and Childcare Services. We thank you for your prayers and generous support of the work of Still Waters, and look forward to your continued partnership in the care of both children and families. Your regular giving is the means of tremendous encouragement and we thank God for your share in this ministry.
