Empowering Women to Bloom Beyond Boundaries

Strength, resilience, and compassion define the spirit of every woman who rises above challenges and continues to grow. Inspired by this belief, the Community Service Avenue of the Rotaract Club of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura introduced SheBlooms, a meaningful initiative dedicated to uplifting women and girls across Sri Lanka.

Designed as a multi-dimensional humanitarian project, SheBlooms focused on creating opportunities, improving well-being, and restoring dignity for women and girls. The initiative also aligned closely with several global development priorities including United Nations Sustainable Development Goals such as Good Health and Well-Being (SDG 3), Gender Equality (SDG 5), Climate Action (SDG 13), No Poverty (SDG 1), and Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10).

Over the course of three impactful months, SheBlooms unfolded through five meaningful phases, each addressing a unique challenge faced by women in society while reinforcing the project’s core belief—that every woman deserves the chance to bloom.

SheSecure – Standing with Communities After Disaster

The journey of SheBlooms began with SheSecure, a relief initiative aimed at supporting families affected by severe flooding caused by the Ditwa Cyclone. In partnership with Emerge Global Sri Lanka and Lanka Life Line, the project reached flood-affected families in the Kandy District.

Forty families received essential supplies, including 40 pillows, 30 mattresses, 40 bedsheets, 30 towels and 30 toys. These items provided comfort and stability to households rebuilding their lives after a disaster. What may appear as simple necessities carried profound meaning – offering warmth, reassurance, and hope during a difficult time.

SheEarns – Creating Opportunities for Women Entrepreneurs

Empowerment took an economic turn in the second phase, SheEarns, which focused on supporting women-led businesses. Ten small and medium-scale women entrepreneurs were given the opportunity to showcase their products through a marketplace held within the premises of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura.

The initiative provided stall spaces free of charge, allowing entrepreneurs to present their brands, attract new customers, and increase their income. Each business earned an average of LKR 7,000, demonstrating how access to opportunities can significantly impact women striving to grow their enterprises.

More importantly, the experience strengthened confidence and encouraged women to believe in the potential of their own businesses.

SheLearns – Empowerment Through Awareness

Recognizing that knowledge is a powerful tool for empowerment, the third phase, SheLearns, focused on education and awareness.

With Whisper as the Official Title Partner and Indira Cancer Trust as the Official Education Partner, the project organized eight educational sessions on menstrual health, hygiene, and breast cancer awareness.

• Seminar 1: Breast and cervical cancer awareness (online session)
• Seminar 2: Breast and cervical cancer awareness for undergraduates (online session)
• Seminar 3: Breast and cervical cancer awareness for Girl Guides (online session)
• Seminar 4: Breast and cervical cancer awareness at Sapugaskanda Vishaka Balika Vidyalaya
• Seminar 5: Menstrual health and hygiene awareness at Malabe Sri Rahula Balika Vidyalaya
• Seminar 6: Menstrual health and hygiene awareness for Tangalle Balika Vidyalaya (online session)
• Seminar 7: Menstrual health and hygiene awareness for Aluvihare Royal College – Matale, Buddhagosha Maha Vidyalaya – Matale, Akuramboda Junior School  – Matale.
• Seminar 8: Menstrual health and hygiene awareness for Girl Guides

The awareness programs were conducted for school students, youth groups, and university undergraduates across several regions, reaching more than 850 participants. These sessions provided accurate information, challenged common misconceptions, and encouraged young women to take charge of their health with confidence.

The message of empowerment was further amplified by media partners including Sunday Observer and Lakehouse, helping the campaign reach audiences across the country.

SheSpeaks – Encouraging Open Conversations

In many communities, important topics related to women’s health remain surrounded by silence and stigma. The fourth phase, SheSpeaks, sought to change that narrative.

Through a strategic public awareness campaign using social media content and video storytelling, the initiative encouraged conversations around menstrual health, breast cancer, female genital mutilation, and gender equality.

Reaching over 11,000 online viewers, the campaign helped break long-standing taboos and highlighted the importance of open dialogue. SheSpeaks reinforced a simple but powerful truth—when women speak openly about their experiences and health, meaningful change begins.

SheIsSeen – Supporting Those Who Are Often Overlooked

The final phase of SheBlooms, SheIsSeen, focused on individuals whose struggles often remain unnoticed.

In Kirindiwela, an elderly bedridden woman living in extreme financial hardship received essential clothing, homecare items, and dry rations to support both her and her husband, who was battling kidney failure.

Another act of kindness reached a 17-year-old girl in Nuwara Eliya, whose mobility had been limited for years. Through the donation of a multifunctional wheelchair, the initiative restored her independence and opened the door to new possibilities.

These gestures reflected the deeper purpose of SheBlooms—ensuring that no woman feels invisible or forgotten.

A Journey of Collective Compassion

Throughout its duration, SheBlooms reached more than 1,000 women and girls across nine districts, demonstrating how collective action can create lasting impact.

The success of the project was made possible through the dedication of its partners and supporters, including Whisper, Emerge Global Sri Lanka, Lanka Life Line, Indira Cancer Trust, Sunday Observer, Lakehouse, Home Printer, and Plants Sri Lanka.

Special appreciation is also extended to generous donors Judy Dinusha Karlsson, Rebecca Wijewardena, and the Karlsson family and friends, whose support strengthened the project’s ability to reach those who needed it most.

Blooming Infinitely

SheBlooms stands as a powerful reminder that empowerment begins with compassion, awareness, and opportunity. From disaster relief and entrepreneurship to education and advocacy, the initiative touched lives in meaningful ways.

More than a project, SheBlooms became a symbol of hope—one that proves that when women are supported, encouraged, and empowered, they do not simply grow.

They bloom infinitely.

“Every drop of water has the power to change a life”, and thus, under the Community Service avenue, the Rotaract Club of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura recently completed “Drops of Hope,” an immense, three-phase initiative dedicated to uplifting underserved communities.

Its purpose was simple yet profound-to ensure that every child has access to safe drinking water, clean washroom facilities, and a healthier, empowered learning environment; it was rooted in the vision of supporting major UN SDGs:

• SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being)
• SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation)
• SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities)

This journey spanned from late September to early November to create a long-lasting and measurable impact on the lives of more than 350 beneficiaries.

Phase 1 – “The First Drop”

The foundation of “Drops of Hope” was built upon addressing one of the most urgent challenges faced by rural schools in Sri Lanka, unsafe and insufficient drinking water. Without safe water, students spend more time surviving than studying. To solve this, we installed a state-of-the-art Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Refinery Filter Treatment System at Siri Dammathilaka School, Matale. Completed on November 7th with constructional support from UNA Engineering (Pvt) Ltd as the Official Construction Partner, this system now provides a reliable stream of purified water, immediately improving student health, hydration, and school attendance.

With this, the project’s first and most essential promise was fulfilled: guaranteeing clean drinking water that transforms daily life for children.

Phase 2 – “Tender Touch”

The second phase addressed another silent crisis, which was the broken, unhygienic washroom facilities in underprivileged schools. Poor sanitation not only leads to infections but also robs children of comfort and dignity. Through this phase, we renovated and restored critical washroom spaces in two schools:

• Upadyaya Vidyalaya, Panadura
• Dalthara Kanishta Vidyalaya

The effort went beyond repairing structures; it focused on making the facilities healthy and respectful learning environments for children, where they feel safe and valued. It also included awareness sessions and a donation drive so students had knowledge and facilities for proper hygiene practices.

Phase 3 – “Clean Sphere”

What makes “Drops of Hope” truly exceptional is its strong emphasis on sustainability. The final phase, “Clean Sphere,” ensured that the improvements made would not slowly disappear over time. Students from schools, Siri Dharmathilaka School, Matale, Upadyaya Vidyalaya, Panadura, and Dalthara Kanishta Vidyalaya participated in meaningful awareness sessions on hygiene, environmental care, and proper maintenance. By empowering children to take responsibility, the Rotaract Club planted the seeds of lifelong healthy habits and environmental consciousness. Additionally, donation packs containing essential cleaning and hygiene resources helped the schools implement these new practices sustainably.

This entire multi-phase initiative was made possible through strong collaboration with NOLIMIT, the Official Silver Partner, whose support reinforced the project’s reach and sustainability. Their involvement demonstrated how corporate contribution can fuel community-driven change. In addition to the sponsors, the dedicated resource persons who conducted the awareness sessions played a crucial role, offering their time and expertise to ensure the children received valuable knowledge and guidance that strengthened the long-term impact of the project.

“Drops of Hope” is not just a name; it represents a promise – a promise that every child deserves health, dignity, and the opportunity to learn in a nurturing environment. By addressing clean water, sanitation, and long-term sustainability strategically, this community service sets a very strong benchmark for impactful community service by the Rotaract Club of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura. With each drop of purified water, each renovated washroom, and each child empowered to take care of the environment, hope continues.

The Rotaract Club of University of Sri Jayewardenepura (RACUSJ) kick-started the new Rotaract International year 2025–26 with its first monthly gathering for the month of July, on the 29th of July 2025, virtually via Google Meet under the vibrant and heartwarming theme of the beloved animated film “Coco”.

As the movie Coco beautifully portrays, family, memories, and staying true to who we are form the essence of every journey. Reflecting this spirit, the gathering served as a moment to celebrate life, honor our roots, and carry the warmth of togetherness into the year ahead. The session was organized by the Community Service Avenue and was gracefully moderated by Rtr. Dilini Wijewardana, who guided the evening with enthusiasm and heart.

The gathering commenced with the customary Flag Salutation, Rotaract Invocation, and Rotary Four-Way Test, symbolizing our club’s values and unity. This was followed by a heartfelt address from our Club President, Rtr. Nethmi Bandara warmly welcomed members into the new Rotaract year. She shared valuable updates on the club’s direction, including key highlights such as the upcoming  Quarter One Member Intake Event – Aloha ’25, and provided insights into the member selection process that will follow the intake interviews. Additionally, she provided a brief overview of the projects lined up for August, signaling a strong, active, and purpose-driven start to the year.

One of the evening’s most anticipated moments arrived early in the gathering with the recognition of excellence within the club. Rotaractor of the Month was not awarded as July marked the beginning of the term and projects were yet to commence. Therefore, the spotlight was placed on the Director of the Month. This recognition was awarded to Rtr. Sevin Seneviratne from the Public Relations Committee, honoring his exceptional leadership and dedication during the early stages of the term.

Following the recognition, Club Secretary Rtr. Manushi Rathnayake presented the meeting minutes from the recently concluded Transition Meeting, which was held on July 26th. Her summary offered members a clear view of the structural updates and leadership handovers within the club.

The gathering then moved into avenue announcements, where each avenue provided updates on their current efforts, progress on ongoing tasks, and exciting plans for upcoming projects. This segment gave members a glimpse into the wide range of impactful initiatives being prepared and reflected the teamwork, passion, and strategic vision of the club’s leadership. Additionally, these updates reflected the dedication and drive of our directors as they prepare to make a meaningful impact in the months ahead.

As the formal proceedings concluded, the atmosphere shifted into a lighter, joyful mood with a music-themed game – “Guess the Song by Emoji.” The game turned out to be a delightful hit, as members quickly and enthusiastically guessed the songs based on emoji clues. Many participants were so quick that planned hints were hardly needed! With each correct guess, the corresponding song was played, creating an energizing environment filled with music, laughter, and genuine excitement.

To preserve the memory of this special evening, a group photo session was held. Members switched on their cameras against a specially designed virtual backdrop inspired by Coco, creating a bright and colorful moment of unity.

Before wrapping up, birthday wishes were extended to all members celebrating their birthdays in July, which was a simple yet cherished tradition that added a personal touch to the session.

With hearts full of joy and minds set on the journey ahead, the July Monthly Gathering marked a meaningful and lively start to the new Rotaract year. It reminded everyone of the power of community, the value of shared goals, and the beauty of celebrating together, just like the spirit of Coco.

As RACUSJ steps into 2025–26, this gathering stands as a promising prelude to the impactful projects and vibrant memories yet to come!

Neth Peheli is a collaborative initiative by the Rotaract Club of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura (RACUSJ) and eight other Rotaract Clubs (Rotaract Club of Gampaha, Rotaract Club of Panadura, Rotaract Club of Rathnapura, Rotaract Club of Trincomalee, Rotaract Club of Kandy Hill Capital, Rotaract Club of Katugastota Region, Rotaract Club of Athugalpura and Rotaract Club of APIIT) to support students preparing for the G.C.E Ordinary Level (O/L) examinations. 

The project aimed to provide academic guidance and essential resources to underprivileged students. The initiative was carried out in two phases: conducting an extensive seminar series on critical O/L subjects and distributing educational materials to underprivileged schools. 

A total of 19 seminars were conducted in Phase 1, ensuring students from multiple schools, from underprivileged and marginalised communities, received valuable academic support. The initiative strengthened the project’s outreach, benefiting students from diverse backgrounds.

         Phase 01: O/L Seminar Series

Neth Peheli conducted 19 academic seminars to prepare students for GCE O/L examinations. The seminars focused on key subjects, problem-solving techniques, and exam-oriented strategies. The sessions were held by Rotaract Clubs at various schools. The impact was significant, as students reported increased confidence in their subject knowledge and problem-solving skills. The seminars provided interactive learning opportunities and deeper understanding of key concepts. The timing of the seminars just weeks before the exams allowed students ample time to apply their learning. The initiative was successful in reaching a wide range of students and providing essential revision opportunities.

         Phase 02: Donation Distribution

Neth Peheli, a project aimed at supporting underprivileged students, aimed to address their material needs by distributing essential stationery and learning materials. This initiative, which included notebooks, pens, pencils, and mathematical instruments, helped students from financially disadvantaged backgrounds continue their education without financial strain. The donation phase complemented the academic support provided in Phase 1, creating a more inclusive and supportive educational environment.

 

The project’s success was attributed to the collective efforts of nine Rotaract Clubs, which amplified its reach and impact. The project not only contributed to students’ academic success but also fostered a culture of learning and support. 

By equipping students with knowledge, resources, and motivation, the project enhanced their educational journey and inspired them to strive for academic excellence. The project’s success serves as a testament to the impact of community-driven efforts in education and sets a strong foundation for future initiatives aimed at empowering students and bridging educational disparities.

Neth Peheli, a student from underprivileged backgrounds, initiated a program to break the cycle of poverty by providing free academic seminars and learning materials for students preparing for GCE Ordinary Level examinations. The initiative focused on Mathematics and Science, equipping students with knowledge and improving their performance. The initiative also provided essential stationery items through donation, reducing financial burdens on students and their families.

 Neth Peheli also offers structured academic support to students in rural and economically challenged areas, led by Rotaract Clubs. The program offers 19 educational seminars covering critical subjects, enhancing students’ understanding of key concepts, problem-solving techniques, and exam preparation guidance. The initiative also aims to reduce educational inequality, ensuring equal access to academic guidance and resources for students from different socio-economic backgrounds.

The project also aimed to equip youth with skills for employment and entrepreneurship, breaking the poverty cycle and boosting economic growth. The project’s structure, divided into two phases, ensured a holistic approach to education. The project aligned with key Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on quality education, poverty reduction, reduced inequalities, and global partnerships. Future enhancements include expanding subject coverage, improving tutor availability, refining logistics for material distribution, and introducing follow-up programs like mentorship and performance tracking.
