Who they are

The Kiddea form a traditional community in Sri Lanka, sharing the Sinhala language and the country’s rich cultural heritage. Part of the rhythms of rural life and village routines, they deeply value family solidarity and community harmony. Although there are already small Christian groups among them, most follow Buddhist teachings, and there is a great need for practical expressions of the gospel in daily life.
