The @omshanti.foundation Kids for Kids Initiative

The @omshanti.foundation Kids for Kids Initiative was created as a way to bridge the gap between schools in Western Australia and the rural schools out in Sri Lanka that we support. Children in these areas grow up without the essentials such as shoes, a proper fitting uniform or stationary. Kids for Kids fosters relationships between the schools to raise funds as well as awareness to empower these students to grow into educated, happier adults. If you know a school that would be keen to join us, shoot us a message 🙏🏾 #omshantifoundation

Being a part of Om Shanti Allows me to give back in a way that I’ve always wanted to. Growing up in australia we are blessed with so many opportunities that often we don't see how some of the world lives. I feel so grateful that i have been able to see both sides and really see what some people in the world are faced with in everyday life. I'm grateful that I can make a small impact through Om Shanti, whether that be organising events, managing the charity, or raising awareness back here in Australia! I’m looking forward to seeing how this charity grows and how we continue to make an impact 🙏🏾✨⁣

Vijayakumari and her family were one of the first

Vijayakumari and her family were one of the first families that we helped through the @omshanti.foundation 🙏🏾 Since then she has done extremely well, creating a highly functioning farm, selling rice, eggs, milk and vegetables 👏🏾 She now earns more than the average salary and doesn’t require our ongoing support!! We still keep tabs on her - watching her influence those in her community to create their own creative endeavours 😍👏🏾 #omshantifoundation

‘Whenever I visited Sri Lanka I saw those less fortunate kids and thought to myself, what makes me different to them? Was it by chance that my parents were able to bring me to Australia and provide my sister and I with very fortunate lives? Whatever it was, it didn’t change the circumstance. This was my life, and that was theirs. But, what it did do was help me to empathise with the daily struggles of the less fortunate. Giving back and doing charity work is not something I choose to do, it is something I MUST do. It is my responsibility and my duty to help those in need as I was so lucky to have been given the life I have. Om Shanti has allowed me to do this on a greater scale, and make a positive impact on those children I once looked at and wished I could do something about - because now I can’ ⁣

“As a young boy growing up in Sri Lanka I saw firsthand the suffering that existed in front of me, including my family. I dreamt that one day I would build my life up, and to give back to my people, and so I did just that. Through hard work and patience, i migrated to Australia to create a better life for my family. When I came back to Sri Lanka, particularly the northern regions, I saw that nothing much had changed. The war left lasting damage and citizens of this community were left with little to nothing. I decided that the best way to help them was to provide a shift in mindset. To empower them to make money for themselves, and to help them realise that they were the key to creating a better life for themselves. With the help of some locals, I first provided a handful of families with chickens and cows - so they could establish a microbusiness selling eggs and milk. From there, we grew, and reached out to more families and slowly a ripple was created. As a result, families who worked with us began growing and becoming happier people. I am so excited to see how we make an impact going forward”⁣
