About Us
Make A Difference Sri Lanka Ltd. (MDSL) is a UK registered charity created in the year of 2011, run by a group of dedicated and committed Sri-Lankan-UK-nationals joined hands as volunteers to support the most vulnerable in the north and east of Sri Lanka.
Our past work
Make a Difference Sri Lanka has supported various educational projects across a wide age spectrum, including start-up-education, diplomas, degree courses, zero budget farming courses and supporting youngsters on trainings and preparing A/L students for examinations aimed at providing Primary Level Development, PLD. Supporting the young and vulnerable with education is imperative, as it is their birthright.
Furthermore we have supported numerous projects with locals to establish small businesses and small industries. We constructed mud houses and toilets for the needy which also served as training opportunities for local youth.
Additionally, we have supported young and old individuals’ and families, fishermen and many others through educational, farming, agricultural, and livelihood projects, advancing to the Secondary Level Development, SLD in the region.

Our current work
We are currently supporting 34 A-Level students in the Eastern Province for their 2024 University entrance public examinations. This cohort will receive support until their exams in January 2025. Through PLD and SLD we have supported well over 750 beneficiaries, eradicating poverty in small ways in the region. However much more needs to be done …
Following PLD and SLD, we are now in the phase of Tertiary Level Development, TLD focusing on creating a farm, Vilippu Koottu Pannai, VKP in Paranthan, Kilinochchi.
This mega-project aims to create jobs, provide trainings and apprenticeships among the young and old and also generate incomes leading to a continuous development designed for an exponential growth which could support many more projects supporting many more needy people.
Create jobs, provide trainings and apprenticeships among the young and old and also generate income!
Our vision and future goals
At MDSL, we aim to create long-term, self-sustaining development by helping these communities rise and live dignified lives.
Our vision includes an expansion of our farm Vilippu Koottu Pannai, VKP 1 into VKP2, VKP3, and VKP4, spreading from the north to the east, west and beyond.
Through Continous Development, CD we want to create more job opportunities, trainings, apprenticeships and seed various industries, benefiting the regions even further.
