As Rebuild Sri Lanka
Our journey with Rebuild Sri Lanka is constantly evolving. What started as a mission to restore and reconnect is now taking the shape of a new, more strategic focus. We are now working to empower and connect Sri Lankan entrepreneurs, helping small businesses upscale and grow into big international companies.
We believe that rebuilding our nation doesn’t only come through aid—it comes through action, ownership, and opportunity. Entrepreneurship, when done right, has the power to offer all three.
A Platform That Gives Back
We are now transforming rebuildsrilanka.com into a powerful platform for entrepreneurs. This means we provide a space for local businesses to showcase their products and services, connect with a wider audience, and access vital resources.
Each business plan is built from the ground up, with the help of aspiring entrepreneurs who are mentored and supported by our team. From local artisans creating handcrafted goods to young people launching tech startups, these ventures are not curated by outsiders but created by locals—for locals and for the world.
How This Supports the Bigger Picture
Through this model, we:
- Take a small commission from successful product sales and business growth.
- Reinvest that into business workshops, mentorship, and access to capital.
- Support small businesses across all sectors, with a special focus on women-led enterprises.
- Offer financial literacy, digital marketing, and entrepreneurship programs to aspiring business owners.
- Build a system that grows with the people, not above them.
This strategy allows us to create long-term impact, not just one-time charity.
A Sustainable Movement Begins
With the launch of our new entrepreneur-focused platform, the groundwork for Clean Sri Lanka tree planting across the island, and the momentum of our business-led growth plans, we're moving from vision to reality.
This mission is deeply personal for me. I am a product of Sri Lanka's free education and free healthcare systems. They are the foundation upon which I was built, and they instilled in me the belief that everyone, regardless of their background, deserves the opportunity to succeed.
This isn’t just a website. It’s a platform for change. And with your support, we can turn entrepreneurship into a tool for rebuilding lives, communities, and the nation.
