About Us
Help Lanka Initiative is a group of students who are making an effort to reach out in brotherhood to fellow Sri Lankans in need.
We feel like there is so much that we can do and even more that needs to be done. Small actions of compassion can truly make a difference in people's lives.
With focuses in pediatric healthcare and education, our aim is to do whatever we can to keep fellow students healthy and in school.
Whether its a hot meal, school supplies, or the infrastructure of the building they learn in, every student deserves the chance to succeed.
