Our Journey Since 1997

Building a just and equitable society through youth-led initiatives and sustainable community development.

Our Story

The Beginning of a Movement

Founded in 1997 by a group of visionary young leaders, Sasnaka Sansada emerged from a shared commitment to create positive social change. What started as a small initiative has grown into a nationwide movement, touching lives across 25 districts in Sri Lanka.

Our founders believed in the power of youth to drive meaningful change in society. They envisioned an organization that would not just provide services but would empower communities through education, leadership, and sustainable development.
