The present “Centre for Handicapped” has its history as early as the year 1971. The late President of Sri Lanka Hon. R. B. Wijethunge. where possible.
The Centre for Handicapped offers free prosthetic and orthotic devices, rehabilitation services, awareness raising, business education, health camps and scholarships to physically handicapped individuals. It was then called the “Kandy Orthopedic workshop” and was funded by NIHR (National Institute of Handicapped Research) a US based organization and the Ministry of Health in Sri Lanka. With the cessation of support in 1983 the production of limbs and orthopedic appliances began to decline. It was during this time that the Colombo Friend Iin Need Society came into the picture to share its experience and expertise in this particular field. From then on the Kandy orthopedic workshop came to be known as “Colombo Friend in Need Society Kandy Branch.” The Society had changed its location a couple of times due to financial and administrative constraints. It was only in the year 1992 that the Kandy Branch had a permanent location at No 228, Digana Road, Kundasale. Premadasa provided a piece of state land on long lease. NORAD funded the building and the Rotary Club of Kandy together with the International Rotary movement and Rotary Clubs in Sweden & USAID helped in establishing the workshop, wards & office. The Centre was declared open on the 26th September 1992 by the then Prime Minister Hon D. In the year 2001 the Kandy Branch withdrew itself from the Colombo Friend in Need Society and established its own identity as the “Centre for Handicapped”. To date nearly 7,500 amputees from various parts of the country and from different walks of life have benefited from CFH’s limb programme. There has been a gradual increase in quality as well as quantity in many aspects like fabrication of limb, technology used, organizational management, income generation etc. From the traditional Aluminum Jaipur type limb the Centre graduated to HDPE exoskeleton and composite endoskeletal limbs. Technicians have been sent to India for a five-month training programme to learn the fabrication of HDPE Exoskeletal limbs. A team of expatriate Prosthetic & Orthotic professionals from India assist in the fabrication of Endoskeletal limbs. The whole concept of fabricating the HDPE exoskeletal limbs has been changed and a professional flavour added to it for the benefit of the user. The stores have been completely revamped and an appropriate system adapted for issuing of materials. The building has been renovated to include a physiotherapy unit. Patients who come from far off places are provided with transit facilities along with food, all given free of charge. Transport facilities are provided to patients who find it difficult to reach us. The center has also engaged itself in the distribution of mobility equipment on a smaller scale. Moreover the members of the board have been helping the patients in various ways by providing self-employment opportunities etc.

செயற்கைக் காலின் தினசரி பராமரிப்பு
செயற்கைக் காலை நீண்ட காலத்திற்கு பாதுகாப்பாகவும், வசதியாகவும், சிறப்பாகவும் பயன்படுத்துவதற்கு, தினமும் இந்த எளிய பழக்கங்களைப் பின்பற்றுங்கள்.
தினமும் செய்ய வேண்டியவை
1. Socks ஐ சுத்தமாக வைத்திருக்கவும்
பயன்படுத்தும் socks ஐ தினமும் மாற்றி, அவற்றை சுத்தமாகவும் உலர்ந்ததாகவும் வைத்திருக்கவும்.
2. Soft Liner ஐ சுத்தம் செய்யவும்
ஒவ்வொரு மாலையும் மிதமான கிருமிநாசினியைப் பயன்படுத்தி Soft Liner ஐ சுத்தம் செய்யவும். அதை நேரடியாக வெயிலில் வைக்க வேண்டாம். இயற்கையாக உலர விடவும்.

6. Foot ஐ பாதுகாக்கவும்
நடக்கும் ஒவ்வொரு முறையும் பொருத்தமான செருப்பு அல்லது காலணியை அணியவும். இது Foot ஐ பாதுகாப்பதுடன், அதன் பயன்பாட்டு காலத்தையும் நீட்டிக்க உதவும்.
7. ஒவ்வொரு 3 மாதங்களுக்கும் பரிசோதனை செய்யுங்கள்
ஒவ்வொரு மூன்று மாதங்களுக்கும் ஒருமுறை, உங்கள் செயற்கைக் காலை தயாரித்த நிலையத்திற்குச் சென்று, அதனைத் தயாரித்து பொருத்திய தொழில்நுட்ப நிபுணரிடம் செயற்கைக் காலை பரிசோதனை செய்து கொள்ளுங்கள்.
வழக்கமான பரிசோதனைகள் மூலம் ஏற்படக்கூடிய பிரச்சினைகளை முன்கூட்டியே கண்டறிந்து, செயற்கைக் கால் தொடர்ந்து வசதியாகவும் சிறப்பாகவும்

පුහුණුවෙන් ස්වයං රැකියාවක් කරා… අප විසින් ඇයට ලබාදුන් වෘත්තීය පුහුණුව තුළින් නව දැනුමක් හා කුසලතාවක් ලබාගත් ඇය, අද එම හැකියාව තමන්ගේම ස්වයං රැකියාවක් බවට පත්කරගෙන ඇත.
අද ඇය තමන් විසින් නිර්මාණය කරන ලද නිෂ්පාදන අලෙවි කරමින් ආදායමක් උපයාගනිමින්, තම පවුලට ශක්තියක් වෙමින් සහ ස්වාධීනව ඉදිරියට යමින් සිටී.
එක් කුසලතාවක්… එක් අවස්ථාවක්… ජීවිතයක් වෙනස් කළ හැකියි.
ඇයගේ මේ සාර්ථක ගමන අපට සැබෑම ආඩම්බරයකි.
❤️ Thank you Limb Kind Foundation !
The Centre for Handicapped is deeply grateful to Limb Kind Foundation for supporting our children who need prosthetic limbs.
Your generous support gives these children the opportunity to walk, play, attend school, enjoy their childhood, and grow with confidence and independence. 🦿❤️
For a child, receiving a prosthetic limb is more than receiving a device. It provides an opportunity to participate more fully in everyday life and look towards a brighter future with confidence.
Thank you for believing in our children and helping them move forward with hope, confidence, and dignity.
🙏 Together, we are helping our children walk towards their dreams.
