Embark on a journey of change and empowerment.
Welcome to the collective of compassionate action
OUr Story
Established in 2009 by Sandra Wanduragala, founder of Selyn Sri Lanka, the Selyn Foundation is a non-profit initiative dedicated to holistically empowering female artisans, ensuring their sustained engagement in meaningful work. Central to the Foundation's endeavors is the "Skills to Empower" program, designed to focus on crucial aspects such as health, menstrual hygiene, financial management, leadership, and entrepreneurship.
In response to the pressing need for menstrual hygiene products during the COVID-19 pandemic, the #BleedGood initiative has emerged as the flagship project. This initiative involves the distribution of reusable pads alongside comprehensive awareness sessions on menstrual hygiene, reproductive health, and related subjects.
For a woman to be holistically empowered, she requires more than just a job. She needs an ecosystem that nurtures her health and well-being, while equipping her with the skills to make informed choices.
