Our partnership in Sri Lanka

We’ve worked in Sri Lanka since 2011, alongside the Mahanama Rural Community Initiative and Galle Marine Conservation Trust. Every program is co-designed with these local partners — they define the work, we provide the people and structure.

As a B Corp Certified company, 100% of our impact metrics for Sri Lanka are published annually and reviewed by the community council. No vanity work. No orphanage tourism. Real placements with real outcomes.
