Serendip Be The Change Foundation's Vision Mission Statement Our Vision: We envision a Sri Lanka free from hunger, gender-based violence, and lack of opportunities-where every child has access to quality nutrition and education, youth secure meaningful employment, and women are safe, equal, and self-sufficient. A nation where poverty alleviation is driven by social entrepreneurship, sustainable livelihoods, and a circular green economy, fostering long-term economic stability alongside environmental sustainability. Our Mission: At Serendip Be The Change Foundation, our mission is to accelerate community-led change. We believe that sustainable development must be driven and owned by the communities themselves. That's why every one of our programs is co-designed with the people we serve-ensuring their voices, needs, and lived experiences are at the center of every solution. We do not stand apart-we belong to the communities we work in. Our field teams are drawn from these very communities, bringing deep local knowledge, cultural sensitivity, and unwavering commitment. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our approach is participatory, flexible, and adaptive-responding in real time to evolving needs and community feedback. Our mission is not to deliver charity, but to foster transformation that communities can sustain and lead on their own. At the heart of everything we do is a simple but powerful belief: when people are empowered to take charge of their own futures, they become the most powerful force for change. We are committed to building movements, not just projects. What we help begin, communities take forward-creating impact that lasts, far beyond our presence. That is the essence of our mission: to build a future where no one is left behind, because the people themselves have become the changemakers. Our Programs: Our programs are designed to plant the seeds of dignity and self-reliance by providing the tools and knowledge for real, lasting change-empowering children to grow their own food instead of relying on free meals, helping women build sustainable livelihoods instead of depending on handouts, and equipping youth with the skills and opportunities to rewrite their futures and lead change. Food Security & Environmental Stewardship: We promote sustainable agriculture, food security, and environmental education through school gardens and school nutrition kitchens as part of our Education Without Hunger program-enabling children and communities to grow their own food, conserve natural resources, and adopt environmentally responsible practices that support ecosystem sustainability. The children consume the organic vegetables grown in their school and home gardens-gardens they have been empowered to cultivate through the knowledge and skills we have provided. By doing so, they have become nourished, overcoming malnutrition, and achieving food security within their communities. We are also working toward integrating Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) into national policy, advocating for sustainability, climate action, and self-sufficiency to become core components of the education system. Social Entrepreneurship & Sustainable Livelihoods: Through the Green Empowerment Project, we equip women with skills and resources to develop ethical, sustainable livelihoods by transforming waste into wealth; -Training in sustainable social entrepreneurship: Equipping women with skills and ethical production methods. -Promoting eco-friendly, locally sourced products: Encouraging the creation of products from recycled, natural, and biodegradable materials. Examples of waste-to-wealth products: Banana fiber bags & accessories made from discarded banana tree trunks. Palmyra leaf products and other biodegradable alternatives. By promoting sustainable entrepreneurship, we empower women to generate income, achieve self-sufficiency, and contribute to a greener, more resilient economy. Empowering Women & Promoting Gender Equality: We address gender-based violence through prevention and transformation: -Prevention - Self-defense training for women to enhance confidence, safety, and empowerment. -Transformation - Educating boys on positive masculinity, consent, and respect for women to break cycles of violence and inequality. Pls note: We have developed a curriculum and are currently producing e-learning videos to scale this as an Ed-Tech module in schools. Our Founder-President has already trained over 200,000 women and 30,000 boys in Indian public schools and villages through this program, proving its effectiveness. With the necessary funding, we are prepared to implement this tried-and-tested model in Sri Lankan schools to create long-term impact. Youth Skill-Building & Employment We are launching our first Ed-Tech module in the second half of this year, focusing on spoken English with integrated environmental education. Additionally, we are exploring a partnership with a digital platform offering job-ready courses that we hope to roll out next year. With the necessary funding, we aim to provide access to these courses for outstanding students, equipping Sri Lankan youth with the relevant skills needed to secure meaningful careers and contribute to economic growth. Our Commitment: By embedding sustainability into education, livelihoods, and social systems, we create lasting impact beyond aid, ensuring every initiative leads to a stronger, self-sufficient, and resilient Sri Lanka.
