Mallika Home was adjudged the 'Best Home in the Western Province' by the National Secretariat for Elders in 2003. Renovated in 2004 with the assistance of a generous bequest from the Nora & Noel Bartholomeusz Fund, the original building still retains it's old world charm. Almost one hundred elderly women are looked after in a serene, religious atmosphere. Generous donors undertake to provide meals, often giving alms in memory of departed relatives. Our inmates are encouraged to actively participate in various projects such as home gardening and handicrafts. What they most enjoy are the various outings organised for them by sponsors especially during 'Elders Week' each October. Who we are... We serve destitute elderly women and children, nurturing them and providing shelter and protection whilst working for their betterment. Our Vision Our vision is a society where all underprivileged elders and children have the opportunity for a positive and satisfying life. Our Mission We endeavor to provide these elderly women with calm surroundings where they can live comfortably and feel supported and cared for, yet independent. We strive to enrich the lives of these young children by encouraging them to realise their potential and helping them to cultivate sound values in an environment of learning.
