We are a Sri Lankan non-profit organization that supports rural students and creates positive change through the power of education and technology.
Welcome to LakAruna Foundation
A Place Where Hope and Knowledge Meet
The LakAruna Foundation was established with the vision of bringing computer technology to a rural village in Sri Lanka. Located in Hingurukaduwa, we primarily support students from farming families, offering them a chance at a quality education that is often out of reach. Through the dedication of our strong volunteer network, we provide the English and IT skills that are crucial for entering university and building a successful future.

In our informal workshops, we provide hands-on training in our computer labs, from basic literacy to competing in national robotics competitions.

We actively seek and distribute secondhand laptops, phones, and computers, putting essential tools directly into the hands of students who need them most.
Our Mission
Our journey began in 2002 with a simple yet powerful vision: to bring the world of technology to a rural village in Sri Lanka. From humble beginnings with a single computer and a handful of curious children, LakAruna has grown into a respected nonprofit organization. Our mission is to provide transformative English and IT education to students from farming communities in the Uva Province. We exist to break down the barriers to higher education and fulfilling careers, empowering the next generation to build a future free from poverty.
