Sarakasi Trust was established in 2001 in response to the need for further development and growth in the cultural and performing arts sector. The organization plays an important role in demonstrating the entrepreneurial possibilities of arts and culture for economic empowerment and development.

The Hospital Project is a special project under Sarakasi Trust that offers an edutainment program for vulnerable children and youth in hospitals and rehabilitation institutions. The aim is to bring about a holistic approach towards the healing and rehabilitation process that encourages a positive awareness of illness and raises the level of self-esteem for hospitalised children.

To date, the program runs in 2 public hospitals, a day care centre for physically and mentally challenged children, a juvenile remand home and youth correction/rehabilitation centres.

To prepare for its expansion the Hospital Project is seeking an individual who has an interest in arts and culture, a passion for excellence and is willing to work in a multicultural environment to fill the position of Administration Manager.
