The AMI Tsunami Children's House Foundation is located in Sri Lanka and was founded with the idea of giving a safe place to the children affected by the 2004 Tsunami.

On December 26, 2004, the Indian Ocean Tsunami struck Sri Lanka, with 30,000 people confirmed dead and leaving many more homeless. In addition to the tsunami, Sri Lanka was also in the midst of a Civil War, where the Sri Lankan government was fighting the rebel group known as the Liberation Tiger of Tamil Eelam. The decision to start this foundation was based on these two factors and we decided to take in children who were orphaned, abandoned, abused or needed a secure home to grow up in.

We now have 24 children ranging from ages 5 to 17 years of whom the older children attend Primary and Secondary School locally and the younger ones are taught in-house as we have a fully equipped Montessori school. Each child receives English tuition and computer classes privately. Our aim is to hopefully see that these children are sent out into the world with a good education and trained in a vocation suited to their talents, once they have completed their secondary school education. We hope and pray that no child will ever have to go back to the life that they left behind and that they will grow to be productive citizens of their country.
