St. Anthony’s Hardware celebrates the children at Lama Sewana Detention Home

St. Anthony’s Hardware recently held a fun day for the children at Lama Sewana Detention Home, Baddegama, which included games, activities and food. St. Anthony’s Hardware aims to maintain a long-term relationship with the home by renovating and providing industry training and career guidance for the children at Lama Sewana Detention Home.

St Anthony’s Hardware will be renovating the buildings and roof of the detention home, creating a safe and secure environment for the children. Apart from the renovation, the team will be working with the children to provide career guidance workshops and seminars to ensure that the children have some employability skills when they become adults. The children were given sporting equipment to improve their sports facilities.

The Lama Sewana Detention Home, Baddegama is a government-run facility that currently houses over 50 young residents between the age of 04 to 17 years old. The children at the home come from financially disadvantaged backgrounds, or their parents have been incarcerated.
