Doing the right thing

Our charity projects continue 


52 boys & girls call Kalamusu Kedella their home


The team at Sheraton Abu Dhabi organises a charity trip each year to assist children in need in a developing country. 


The initiative started in 2012 when we collaborated with the "Glorious Orphanage" in Arusha, Tanzania.


In 2013, our team visited the "Impoverished Children" in Kibera, Kenya.





You can read all about their adventures in the mission's dedicated blog: www.kiberacharity2013.blogspot.ae


Our upcoming fundraising efforts will support the Kalamusu Kedella Children’s Home in the Kalutara region of Sri Lanka. 


The facility houses 52 boys and girls between the ages of 5 – 17. 


The home initially was built to care for children who lost their families in the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004, later continued the work with children affected by domestic violence, sexual abuse and abandonment.

The home is about 40 km from the capital, Colombo
Since there are limited number of state children homes in Sri Lanka, privately funded facilities are stepping up to take care of vulnerable children.


Naomi, Nelum and all the children at Kalamusu Kedella - we can't wait to get to know you better!
