A closer look at who we are, how we work, and the values that shape every distribution.
The Al-Hikma Charitable Foundation is a Sri Lankan–based humanitarian and community development organisation. It is a non-political and non-profit body working for the welfare of humanity, well known for community development and social welfare activity in the Trincomalee district on Sri Lanka's East coast.
We are registered with the Department of Social Services as a Volunteer Social Service Organisation (VSSO) under Act No. 31 of 1980 — a formal footing that lets us partner with international NGOs, local mosque committees and individual donors on projects ranging from emergency relief to long-term livelihood support.
Every project — whether it's a single water well or a season of food parcels — follows the same accountable process.
Field volunteers and mosque committees identify families and villages in genuine need.
Households are confirmed on the ground before any aid or funding is committed.
Water, food, shelters or equipment are distributed directly, by hand, on site.
Every distribution is logged and photographed, so donors can see exactly where help went.
Aid reaches people on the basis of need, not status — every family is treated with equal dignity.
We adapt each programme — from wells to workshops — to the real conditions of the villages we serve.
Wells, shelters and livelihoods are built to keep serving a family long after the handover day.
Every distribution is logged, photographed and reported — donors can trace exactly where help went.
Local volunteers, mosque committees and field officers work together on the ground in Trincomalee.
Programmes are designed to include women equally, and to stretch every rupee toward more families helped.
