THE CENTRE
Lift a hand. Light a heart. That’s the core concept of Ti-Ratana.

TI-RATANA PENCHALA COMMUNITY CENTRE is an extended family member of the TI-RATANA WELFARE SOCIETY, a community centre created for the betterment of lives in the spirit of compassion to both serve and provide shelter, education and care to the underprivileged members of the community regardless of gender, age, race or creed.

In 2004, The Most Venerable Chief Dhammaratana initiated the formation of the Ti-Ratana Penchala Community Centre to those in need of support, counseling and help. After many years of hard work, from raising funds to construction, his vision became a reality in April 2009.

Ti-Ratana Penchala Community Centre is a voluntary and non-profit organization that relies on generous contributions from individual contributors, organizations and volunteers.
