Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is home to rich religious, ethnic, and linguistic diversity, which became fuel for a 26-year civil war, creating deep societal divisions. The country is now recovering from the civilian and economic tolls. We promote cooperative engagement across traditional dividing lines to create a more inclusive national identity, especially through work with youth, women, and community media.
