About Mother Sri Lanka

Mother Sri Lanka is the story of how the people of one resilient island nation in the Indian Ocean did not allow thirty long years of terrorism drown their hopes and dreams for their motherland. It is the story of a small group of patriotic citizens who wanted to tell their family of twenty million to hold their heads high in pride, believing in themselves. The story of how a country can overcome bloodshed and rise from the ashes of war, learning from the mistakes of the past, uniting under one flag, as one nation, as one people who believe in their country.

In 2008, when the Mother Sri Lanka movement was launched, the country was drowned in a thirty year prolonged war. Blood, tears and fear was an everyday thing and Sri Lankans were giving up hope about the country. This was when Janaki Kuruppu, joined the public sector to serve her country. She felt that something had to be done to build hope; to make her fellow citizens feel that there is light at the end of the tunnel. So she brought together a group of likeminded people and started this uphill journey on November 19, 2008. The fortunes of the country changed on May 19, 2009 when the country’s brave leadership and the military forces were able to end the war by eradicating the terrorist group. And so the journey of MSL became much more easier. The movement which was focusing only on patriotism and positive thinking about the country, hence started also focusing on nation building and reconciliation. Hence, started Mother Sri Lanka’s long and arduous journey of healing wounds and mending hearts. Read More
