Sri Lanka: Adahas

  April 14, 2014

Adahas in Sinhala means ideas. Adahas.lk is a website that uses storytelling as a technique of generating social consciousness on issues faced by young Sri Lankans on a daily basis.

We raise awareness on important issues such as social cohesion, sexual and reproductive health and rights, eliminating racial discrimination and gender based violence through real life stories of young Sri Lankans told via text, photography and video clips.
