We hope your experience was or will be filled with unforgettable moments, cultural discoveries, and the joy of exploring this beautiful island nation.
As you reflect on the memories created (or about to be created) during your tuktuk adventure, we invite you to consider how you can give back to the local communities that welcomed you with open arms. At tuktukrental.com, we believe in sustainable tourism and are passionate about making a positive impact on the places we visit. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of recommended charities in Sri Lanka that are doing incredible work to uplift communities and preserve the country’s natural beauty.
1. Sambol Foundation
The Sambol Foundation promotes the protection and training of women and children affected by violence, primarily from socially disadvantaged sections of the population, especially in Sri Lanka. It is open to all those who are discriminated against because of their gender identity. Free accommodation and vocational training opportunities are intended to lay the foundation for improving the living situation and paving the way back to an independent life.
You can donate to The Sambol Foundation’s new Safe Village project here: https://donate.raisenow.io/bjkrq?analytics.channel=button&lng=en

Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to providing safe and decent housing for families in need. Your contribution can help build homes and create lasting change for families across Sri Lanka.
3. PALM Foundation
PALM Foundation is a committed, well-recognized community development non-government organization existing in the Nuwara Eliya district and the eastern and northern provinces of Sri Lanka, which serves the plantation and rural communities, adopting a participatory, holistic development approach and reaping tangible benefits to those deprived, discriminated and isolated communities.
