OUR PROJECTS

D.R.O.P.S. sponsored a new community and learning center. A community space where children can play in a safe environment while mothers or grandmothers socialize and students of all ages can improve their knowledge. This not only increases open-mindedness, but also steadily improves a damaged social structure.

Sri Lanka's lower classes are particularly exposed to health problems because they lack basic knowledge on medical care topics. To this end D.R.O.P.S. offers important educational classes on brushing teeth, washing hands, personal hygiene and more during the visits to reduce a variety of health problems and risks

Buisplaas dilapidated library was renovated and thanks to D.R.O.P.S. donations it now includes a general use vegetable garden with seating area and a fenced play area as a safe recreation area for the town's preschoolers. A meeting place for young and old.

During this 5-day mission in Sri Lanka over 2000 people were reached in the remote, needy villages of Sri Lanka. Dental and general medical treatments, already enthusiastically awaited, were joined by ophthalmological examinations (eye care). Emotions ran high as some of them received glasses for the first time in their lives.

The collaboration and joint efforts of the D.R.O.P.S. and Sparkle teams during these three days enriched the lives of over 170 underprivileged children. For most of the children it was their first visit to the dentist and they received their first toothbrush and toothpaste.

D.R.O.P.S. Foundation is proud to have been actively involved in the reopening of the newly renovated CEF FAMILY CENTER in Asla Park, South Africa. This initiative is especially aimed at young mothers whose bonding process with their baby is hindered by daily domestic or social violence.

One of the highlights of our Sri Lanka Mission was in Raddegodawatte. There, participating volunteer D.R.O.P.S. doctors worked with local doctors to treat more than 2,000 patients, and the whole team supported building up the IT training laboratory to improve the existing school infrastructure.

During one week, the D.R.O.P.S. team traveled over 600 km of dirt road on the island to improve the quality of life for many people in need. D.R.O.P.S. doctors treated many hundreds of people who otherwise would not have access to medical care.

In February 2015 D.R.O.P.S. visited the "Warehouse Project" in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. There, among other things, homeless and needy children are cared for by volunteer teachers and volunteers. With the help of the team, 250 food packages were distributed to the grateful children.
