Since 1988, Shanthiham has been a steadfast collaborator with communities, primarily serving the northern and eastern regions of Sri Lanka. We started with a clear purpose, and that purpose remains the guiding star of our work today: a healed and restored community that is able to celebrate life in all its wholeness.
What “Wholeness” Truly Means For us, ‘wholeness’ is a comprehensive state of being. It means that individuals, families, and communities have the capacity to fulfil their needs in relation to mental health and psychosocial well-being. It is a vision where:
We dedicate ourselves to supporting all, particularly those in crisis and at risk of mental health problems. Our approach is to collaborate directly with communities to ensure the support we provide is meaningful and effective in achieving this state of wholeness.
Looking Ahead Our experience, particularly in project management and community collaboration, positions us to continue adapting and meeting the evolving needs of the regions we serve. Every training session we conduct, every publication we release, and every family we support is a step toward making our vision a reality. We aim not just for people to survive, but to truly celebrate life.
