Our initiatives in Sri Lanka are multifaceted, encompassing a Village Regeneration Programme with a comprehensive strategy that supports children, individuals with disabilities, single women, and senior citizens. Other recent undertakings include the establishment of the Varadakumar Resource Centre and cooperative frameworks.

Our programmes in the UK include the Elders Empowerment Programme (EEP), the Healthy Mind Programme (HMP), the Tamil Women Development Forum (TWDF), and the Heritage Unit.
