Lighthouse Foundation for Sri Lanka is a non-governmental charitable organisation facilitating social, human, and environmental development in Sri Lanka. It provides a range of capacity building initiatives and projects that enable young people (aged 15 to 28 years) to make a positive difference to communities in Sri Lanka.
The charity mainly focuses on assisting Sri Lankan young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. By supporting their energy, ideas, and enthusiasm it enables them to make a positive impact and so advance Sri Lanka’s social, economic, and environmental development. The Charity runs projects to advance their livelihoods and skills through partnership building, knowledge sharing, educational skills training, and self-development initiatives. At present Charity’s priority is to support groups living in regions affected by the Asian tsunami disaster of December 2004.

“This lighthouse was the cynosure of all eyes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The Bermudas are said to have been discovered by a Spanish ship of that name which was wrecked on them.... Yet at the very first planting of them with some sixty persons, in 1612, the first governor, the same year, “built and laid the foundation of eight or nine forts.” To be ready, one would say, to entertain the first ship’s company that should be next shipwrecked on to them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
