The author examines the relationship between the participation of disabled youths in religious activities and indigenous social work practices in Sri Lanka. Participant observation and household surveys were conducted in an area where the religious majority is Buddhist, followed by Muslim and Hindu. Religious activities arranged by social work practitioners provide opportunities for disabled youths to participate in the local community. This research found that social work practices promoted collective activities and increased cohesiveness, but the issue of marginalizing religious minorities in the area also emerged. Implications for non-Western social work practices are discussed.
