Empowering the Next Generation of Sri Lanka

Shakthi Foundation is dedicated to equipping young minds with the skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to grow, thrive, and lead in every aspect of life.

Grow from Within

We help youth explore their thoughts, emotions, and identity—building self-awareness as the foundation for confidence and resilience.

Create to Connect

Through art, writing, and movement, we offer safe spaces for emotional expression and personal healing in non-judgmental environments.

Live with meaning

We guide young minds to discover their values, connect with others, and contribute to their communities with purpose and clarity.

You Are Part of This Energy

Shakthi means the strength within — and that strength lives in each of us.
By simply being here, learning, and sharing, you’re already part of something meaningful.
Together, we’re shaping a space for awareness, courage, and purpose.

What we Stand For

Empowering youth through emotional depth, purpose, and connection

Self-Awareness & Identity

Shakthi means inner power. Knowing oneself is the first step to awakening that inner strength—this fits the name’s spirit perfectly.

Creative Expression

Expression is a form of strength and release—creativity is a medium through which youth can reclaim emotional power.

Emotional Resilience

Teaching how to rise and recover from challenges embodies what Shakthi is all about—resilience is energy in motion.

Social Connection & Belonging

True strength comes not from isolation but from feeling seen and supported. This pillar supports collective power, which is central to a community like Shakthi.

Purpose Discovery

Knowing one’s purpose gives direction to Shakthi—energy with purpose is power in action.

Big Picture Thinking


Encouraging vision and perspective keeps the youth grounded in values. It fosters wise use of energy, which aligns with your broader growth-focused vision.

What we’re doing

We create safe spaces where young people reconnect with their inner selves—through art, dialogue, movement, and mindful presence. Our work doesn’t change who they are. It helps them remember who they’ve always been.
