JINENDHI RESOURCE CENTRE FOR DOWN SYNDROME SRI LANKA (JRCFDS)
Is a non profit organization established in Sri Lanka in 1995 to exclusively serve the children with Down Syndrome, is the country’s pioneer in the field. Since then it has served the children with Down syndrome in Sri Lanka and built links with similar organizations across the world as there was no organization or group of professionals to address the issues of children with Down syndrome.
Why Jinendhi?
“ JRCFDS WAS FOUNDED IN 1995, AFTER THE BIRTH OF OUR DAUGHTER JINENDHI, A GIRL WITH DOWN SYNDROME BORN ON THE SPECIAL DAY 29th OF FEBRUARY 1992 “
– Sunethra and Gamini Galgamuwa
VISSION
JRCFDS envisions an environment in which all individuals with Down Syndrome thrive in a caring society.
MISSION
To empower all individuals with Down Syndrome and their families in all aspects of life by influencing policy changes, safeguarding their rights, creating opportunities for quality education, and through research as well as support to other Down Syndrome Associations in Sri Lanka.
Why International Links?
We cannot work alone as we need to exchange experiences, new developments and medical research findings which need to be utilized in promoting the cause of the Sri Lankan Down Syndrome Community and shared with other organisations, government departments, and universities that work for people with Down Syndrome.
