We are a non-profit, non-government, religiously and politically independent organization.
Learning for Life - S.R.C. was born in 2012 as a local NGO in Sri Lanka.
The Organization was established and incorporated under ‘Section 34 of the Companies Act, No.07 of 2007’ in 2013 and operates as a registered not-for-profit organization in Sri Lanka.
The abbreviations ‘S.R.C.’ stands for ‘Supporting the Rights of the Child; which is our primary work frame as a ‘child cantered’ and ‘child-focused’, community development organization based on ‘Principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)’.
In the beginning, the name of the organization was ‘Learning for Life - S.F.C.S.L.’ The abbreviations ‘S.F.C.S.L.’ stands for ‘Swedish Friends of Children in Sri Lanka’. But later the name was changed to ‘Learning for Life - S.R.C.’ due to some legal requirements in Sri Lanka

Why was a part of the name from a Swedish organization in the beginning?
Initiatives to establish this Organization were taken by a Swedish organization called ‘Sri Lankas Barns Vänner’ (also known as ‘Swedish Friends of Children in Sri Lanka’) together with a Sri Lankan person.
Since 1980, S.L.B.V. has been working in Sri Lanka through partnerships with many local organizations. LFL-SRC and SLBV are blood bounded partners since the beginning and we look forward to serving vulnerable and marginalized children and their families in Sri Lanka for more years ahead...
