SAVENTORS
Youth mentorship for changemakers
What we do
Our Initiatives
SAVENTORS, SLEAN, ICJF, World Palmyrah Day and more - movements powered by Sri Lankan youth.
Alongside our nine flagship programmes, Save a Life launches initiatives that give young people in Sri Lanka new ways to lead. Since 2014, our youth-led movement in Jaffna has grown into networks for mentorship, environmental action, climate justice and cultural heritage.
Each initiative is open to schools, universities and youth groups, and each connects local action with the wider goals of a healthy, climate-resilient and equitable Sri Lanka.
