Who We Are

Appe Lanka is a grassroots movement committed to rebuilding and empowering Sri Lanka’s most underserved rural districts. Born in the wake of a devastating 30-year conflict, our work began in the village division of Poonakary—a place where the war left deep scars but also sparked a new vision for resilience and renewal.

From these roots, we’ve launched initiatives that restore basic human rights—like access to education, clean water, renewable electricity, and sustainable employment. Our goal is not just recovery—but long-term transformation.

We believe that every Sri Lankan child should go to school, every family should have clean water, and every community should thrive in peace and dignity.

What We Do

We tackle the real-world barriers that prevent rural communities from thriving. Our core programs include:

• Clean Water for Wellness: Providing access to clean water, keeping children in school and empowering women to pursue work without the burden of water collection.
• Solar Power Solutions: Bringing reliable energy to off-grid homes, unlocking new opportunities for education, health, and economic growth.
• Mobility for Education: Ensuring every child has reliable transport to school, breaking down distance barriers to education.
• Skills for Livelihoods: Offering training in IT, agriculture, and more, helping people build sustainable careers and transform their futures.
• Language & Literacy: Expanding access to education, enabling communities to learn, grow, and connect with the world.
• Art & Sport for Peace: Fostering unity through art and sport, creating healing spaces and promoting social cohesion.
• Food Security
