Project Sigiriya, Phase 1
On June 4th, 2025, HealthAid Sri Lanka partnered with the Sri Lanka Air Force to support schoolgirls at Udawalayagama Kanishta Vidyalaya (Middle School) in Sigiriya. Together, we delivered 134 period packs to 67 girls in need, allocating $108 USD (32,448 Sri Lankan Rupees) from our raised funds to make this possible. According to the school’s principal and teachers, many girls in this region of North Central Province of Sri Lanka, marked by long dry seasons and underserved communities, are often forced to miss school during their periods due to a lack of access to essential menstrual supplies, highlighting the urgent need to address period poverty.

By selling handmade bookmarks at local art fairs, I was able to raise $50 (15,000 LKR). Since a pack of 10 pads costs roughly $1 in Sri Lanka (350 LKR), this seed fund helped us provide 25 young women with 2 period packs.
Hear from the community!
After the distribution, a young woman expresses her gratitude for our visions to raise awareness about period poverty. She reveals how even small efforts like ours can really make a difference, especially in these underprivileged communities.
Beyond period poverty, City Council Official Mr. Gamini and Community Leader Ms. Pushpa Galhena highlights the lack of knowledge young women have about women’s health and how their unawareness prevents them from seeking necessary resources.
If 25 young women can be helped with a month's worth of period products with just $50, imagine what we can achieve with your help! Donate to support our mission!
