Bethlehem Creche accepts children from all faiths and prepares them to enter the Sri Lankan state school system at 5 years.
The children at Bethlehem Creche are from families where the fathers are absent having been abusive, had drug and alcohol problems and/or are in jail. These families are some of the poorest families in Colombo who do not have proper housing, sewage etc. Sister Fiorella is a Catholic Nun who has been running the center for 15 years. She accepts children from all faiths and assesses them only according to their needs. At Bethlehem Creche children have at least one meal a day, medicine and enjoy a safe place to learn and interact improving their start in life.
