Current Projects
Continued efforts for a better future of the local population
Education support
In the past years, we organised donation events for school supplies for local young people, usually in December. Our goal was to provide at least 100 local children with parcels full of essential items so they could attend school.
​​
We were blown away by your support, and surpassed our target, meaning we could support 150 children in 2023, and almost 300 in 2024 and 2025!
​​
In 2025 / 2026 we work to renovate a school house for local children, where they can access the educational support that their families couldn't afford.

Helping local families
In 2010, Janaka established the Foundation to help empower local families and communities. For the past decade and half, it focused on education and disaster relief, including helping the poor and vulnerable people, and supporting the housing repair and construction of families affected by floods.
​
Economic crises always affect the poorest families the hardest. In recent years, especially in the worst years of the 2020-2022 economic and energy crisis we have held food donation events for poor families, with the help of our volunteers from around the world.
In 2025 we help a local family finish their new home. Sujeth and Disna are raising four children, and live with their kins, living in a tiny house. We hope they can move into their new, larger home this year!
Events to bring the community together
The Savi Jaya Foundation was hosted traditional and community event in Kirala Garden, Weligama, to help bring the local community together. We invite families from the local area as well as volunteers and tourists from all over the world. In the Singalese New Year celebrations we made sure every winner of a game got a prize, for example towel, tooth paste, bed sheets etc., and of course some treats as well. In February 2025 we had a traditional Devil Dance to foster cultural exchange between the local community and the visitors and volunteers from around the worldm and to share each other's cultural traditions.
​
Stay tuned - we will continue to organise events for more more fun and games!
