Gammadda has become one of the largest humanitarian initiatives in Sri Lanka and has become a case study for community driven rural development, volunteerism, Community services, Disaster mitigation, Preparedness and relief, Education services and promotion of Arts and culture .
"Speak your mind, for the Country to Hear": Gammadda was first introduced as a public forum initiative held in rural villages. The objective of this attempt was to identify issues that are hidden below the surface and bring the attention of responsible authorities towards these issues faced by Sri Lankans. Gammadda Janatha Mandapaya empowers residents to hold their elected representatives accountable in front of a national audience.
Sri Lanka is known as a paradise island all around the world. From breathtaking mountain views, tranquil beaches, thousands of years of history and an exquisite culture, we really do seem to have it all. However, a deeper understanding of Sri Lanka reveals the unhappy truth, that more than 75% of our population is in fact, rural, struggling and in need of help. Countless tired but smiling faces would tell you the daily struggle to find the most basic needs to live for today.
At Gammadda we do not believe Sri Lanka is a poor country- rather it is unequal.
Gammadda projects aims at alleviating poverty, uplifting social and economic standards, enhancing livelihoods, and improving cultural diversity and dialouge between communities. Gammadda projects are focused on community driven rural development.

One of the basic theories of Buddhism is that a person should prioritise spiritual development above the physical development. Although we boast of having a rich heritage and influnce of 2500 years of Buddhism, we must rethink the extent to which we have incorporated the understanding of the teachings of Lord Buddha into practice.
The Gammadda Damsaviya program was born with the noble objective of fulfilling this spiritual void.
