Matugama home for the aged, is managed by Matugama Social Service Society, where there are, more than 400 members, from Western Province of Sri Lanka.

There are 30 inmates in the Dissabled Children ‘s Home between the ages of 12 to 19 and 30 inmates in the Home for the aged between the ages of 60 to 90.Social Service Department of Sri Lanka Government gives a very little support to these centres, like Rs.10/- per inmate for a day, which is a very nominal amount.

This was destroyed by Tsunami disaster and there are about 500 students learning mostly from poor fisherman families of balapitiya.

We gave a public address system and a 29” T.V, a photocopy machine and a Fax machine to this school coordinated by Dr.Vipula Alawattegama of Balapitiya. This was donated by after Care fund of Nederlands and was coordinated by Mr& Mrs Jos Berens.

This school was built and donated to the education department by Mrs. Chithra Wijegunawardene in the later part of 1960 from her saved money after serving 20 years as a teacher in Ananda Sastralaya school in Matugama.

After buiding this school she was the principal of this school and also in Sangamitta Balika School in Aluthgama.
