Shanka DharmapalaCountry Representative HELVETAS- Sri Lanka
Dear Team at Asia Lanka Social Development Cooperation, As Helvetas prepares to conclude its journey in Sri Lanka and bring Empowering Youth-Led Initiatives on Preventing Violent Extremism in Sri Lanka (2021–2025) project to its closure, we take this moment to extend our profound gratitude for your enduring partnership and the invaluable role you have played in our shared mission. EMPOWER project, funded by the Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund (GCERF), was brought to success through the dedication of partners like ALSDC. ALSDC’s commitment to empowering youth in Kalutara district has been a cornerstone of our collective impact. Through your localized expertise, and deep community engagements, you have helped shape a future where youth are equipped with skills, confidence and agency to lead efforts in preventing violent extremism in their own communities. We warmly recall your successful completion of four subgrants under the EMPOWER Project, contributing meaningfully to building youth resilience to violent extremism and promoting their economic empowerment. What stood out most was your ability to strengthen strong and effective collaborations with diverse government stakeholders. Which is a unique and commendable strength that significantly enhanced the sustainability of our interventions. As the EMPOWER project concludes in December 2025, we carry forward immense gratitude and respect for your work. We wish you continued success in all your future endeavors and trust that your efforts will keep empowering communities for years to come. With sincere appreciation,
Get in touch with us.
