Sri Lanka Unites (SLU) represents youth from varied ethnic and religious groups across Sri Lanka who are united to recover from the previous ethnic conflict and represent a future of hope and reconciliation.  SLU does this through empowering local youth leaders with financial and organizational support to introduce reconciliation initiatives in their communities; holding Future Leaders’ Conferences in which youth come together to discuss roadmaps to peace; and providing relief, school provisions, and scholarships to conflict-affected areas. Partnering with national civil society organizations and with an executive committee comprised of youth aged 18-30, SLU has local “SLU Clubs” based in all 25 districts of Sri Lanka.
