Clombo City Mission was established in 1913 by Methodist Missionaries from England who arrived in Sri Lanka (then known as Ceylon).

CCM has taken on the task of providing day care for children affected by down syndrome and autistic children from the vicinity.

The program helps the parents who are mostly working in the city as they now know that their children are well looked after at the "Blue Angels Club" at City Mission.
