 THE NEED FOR LEADERSHIP

 

  • The social, financial, and psychological impact of Sri Lanka’s 26-year-long civil war still affects everyday life, from psycho-social issues to debt to job scarcity.

  • Mental health services are almost non-existent, leaving unaddressed issues of sexual and gender-based violence, child protection, and discrimination

  • The education system, fixated on tuition and exams, dampens the emotional well-being of children and adolescents

  • Parents, teachers, and administrators fail to value the benefits of children playing sports and enjoying the outdoors

  • Many youth lack support and increasingly turn to addictive outlets, including alcohol, smoking, drugs, social media, and online gaming.
