Sowing Seeds of Change for a Brighter Sri Lanka
Sowing Seeds of Change for a Brighter Sri Lanka
A beacon of hope for Sri Lanka's most vulnerable
Born from the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami, the Sivan Arul Foundation has been a beacon of hope for Sri Lanka’s most vulnerable communities. What began as a mission to care for 25 children orphaned by the disaster has blossomed into a multifaceted organization touching thousands of lives across the nation.
Our journey has been one of growth, adaptation, and unwavering commitment to empowering lives through education, care, and sustainable development. From our children’s homes to our livelihood projects, every initiative is driven by our belief in the potential of every individual to thrive when given the right opportunities. As we continue to evolve, our core mission remains constant: to create lasting, positive change in the communities we serve, building a brighter future for all of Sri Lanka.
