GreaterGood Association is a dedicated not-for-profit organization established in Sri Lanka in 2024, born from a passionate initiative by parents seeking to create meaningful opportunities for their young adult son. This pioneering project aims to foster a vibrant residential community specifically designed for young adults with Autism, Down syndrome, and various Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). Within this nurturing environment, residents will experience safety, support, and inclusion, all vital for their personal growth and well-being.

 

At GreaterGood, we are deeply committed to enhancing the quality of life for individuals with Autism, Down syndrome, and IDD. Our mission is to empower residents to live with dignity, embracing their individuality while encouraging independence. Through personalized care and tailored support, we aim to help each resident unlock their full potential, guiding them towards leading fulfilling and enriched lives within a warm and welcoming community.

 

Nestled just a short, 30-minute drive from the picturesque shores of Negombo Beach, the community will occupy a generously donated 10-acre property. This serene and tranquil setting offers ample space for relaxation and connection with nature — elements crucial for the residents to flourish. The nearby quaint township will serve as an additional resource, facilitating social interactions and promoting community engagement among residents and locals alike.

 

A central feature of GreaterGood will be a thoughtfully designed hospitality section, where residents will have the opportunity to work and earn a living. This initiative not only creates an opportunity for residents to earn a living to support their livelihood within the community. but also plays a crucial role in building self-esteem and professional skills. The hospitality services will cater specifically to families with children who have Autism or IDD, as well as those interested in living, learning, and working within the community, providing them with quality experiences while fostering a sense of community among all participants.
