With your help
We aim to help less fortunate families around the island.
Most of the Sri Lankan community suffers immensely in all spheres of life. The daily wage earners and those in villages affected by the COVID pandemic are in a desperately poor plight due to the present “social tsunami.” The children are badly affected as they can not continue their education due to many social factors, and the self-employed are unable to continue with their trade due to economic constraints. We aim to help needy families all around Sri Lanka.

WHY WE ARE BEST
Why Choose Us?
Helping Hands is a social responsibility initiative by College of General Practitioners of Sri Lanka. CGPSL has been an academic body that always thought outside of the box. While living up to its professional values as an educational body, it also carried forward many activities that directly benefit the community through clear and robust practical initiatives.
We had always tried to help the communities in our small way in the past. Following Tsunami disaster in 2004, the College formed a Task Force for Disaster Management (TFDM) which helped those affected. The collelge could raise funds to the tune of roughly Rs. 14,300,000.00 from our well-wishers in Sri Lanka and abroad. This project continued till 2013. All accounts were audited, and accounts were submitted to the well-wishers in a very transparent manner.
