Summary

We urgently need $20,000 for the next 6 months to sustain our life-changing work with vulnerable children in Sri Lanka. Through mental health support, education, and care, we help youth heal, build resilience, and develop life skills. Our programs also combat gender-based violence and child abuse, creating safer communities. Without funding, we cannot continue. Your support can restore hope, protect children, and change lives.

Challenge

Sri Lanka's youth face economic hardship, displacement, and trauma, leading to rising depression, anxiety, and even taking their own lives. Many suffer in silence without access to **mental health support, life skills, or safe spaces**. Gender-based violence and child abuse remain widespread, trapping youth in cycles of distress. With few child-friendly services available, urgent intervention is needed to **heal, empower, and protect** vulnerable children before it's too late.

Solution

Your support has been vital in helping us provide safe spaces for children to heal, learn, and grow. Over the next six months, we will focus on counseling and support groups in schools, life-skills workshops to build resilience, community outreach to engage parents and teachers, and advocacy efforts to reduce stigma around mental health and prevent gender-based violence and child abuse. Your donation ensures these life-changing programs continue.

Long-Term Impact

Investing in Sri Lanka's youth means building a resilient, empowered generation free from violence. Children will gain emotional intelligence and coping skills, improving well-being and academics. Support groups will reduce isolation, while schools and families will be better equipped to support mental health. Shifting attitudes on gender-based violence will create safer communities. This is a step toward lasting change-your support ensures no child is left behind.
