MAST Industries started working with Suwasetha in 2005 with the sponsorship of the renovation and reconstruction of two Sarvodaya Suwasetha children’s homes: the Galle Girls’ home and the Baddegama Boys’ home. However MAST’s work with Suwasetha has since expanded in scope with the many programs of support they offer to the children at these homes. These programs strive to develop the children socially, educationally and emotionally, and as well try to increase the comfort and attractiveness of their surroundings.
