"Rebuilding begins within us."
🖋️ By Aloka Sethmal – Founder of RebuildSriLanka
"Empowering people through tourism is not just a strategy—it's a promise to the future."
As RebuildSriLanka continues to grow, our vision is also evolving. What started as a mission to restore and reconnect is now taking the shape of a more sustainable, inclusive, and empowering strategy.
We believe that rebuilding our nation doesn’t only come through aid—it comes through action, ownership, and opportunity. And tourism, when done right, has the power to offer all three.
A Platform That Gives Back
We are now transforming RebuildSriLanka.com into a community-powered tourism platform. This means travelers can book local village experiences—guided by youth, hosted by families, and powered by the communities themselves.
Each tour plan is built from the ground up, with the help of young people who are trained, mentored, and supported by our team. From hiking trails in Uva Mountains to farm stays in  Upcountry Wet Land & DownSouth Dry Land, these experiences are not curated by outsiders, but created by locals—for locals and visitors alike.
How This Supports the Bigger Picture
Through this model, we:
- Take a small commission from every tour booking
- Reinvest that into education, workshops, and tourism capacity-building
- Support women-led businesses through handicraft sales and product exposure
- Offer language training, digital skills, and entrepreneurship programs to village youth
- 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 rebuildsrilanka.com, the groundwork for GreenSrilanka tree planting at all island , and the momentum of our youth-led tour plans, we're moving from vision to reality.
This isn’t just a website.
It’s a platform for change.
And with your support, we can turn tourism into a tool for rebuilding lives, villages, and the nation.
