Online Physics Teaching Programme
Online Physics Teaching Programme In March and August 2023, we launched an online physics teaching programme for Medawachchiya National School. Physics is a mandatory subject for students aspiring to become doctors or engineers.

We Have Crossed the Six Crore Mark!
It has been a long journey since the inception of Piku Pihi. Initially, a small group of people came together in a messenger group with the simple goal of providing sambal and rice to children during a time of severe political, economic, and social turmoil in Sri Lanka. Over time, this group grew into a […]
One Year of the Al Maddebna Muslim College SFP-21 School Feeding Program
In the year 2020, for many in Sri Lanka, is marked by the growing attention on the COVID Epi Curve. Campuses were shut down, and education had moved online.

The Colombo More Than the Sea: A SFP School Journey to Colombo
This is the second school trip we’ve organized through Piku-Pihi. Originally, we planned for the Kaluaabe school, but due to a scheduling issue, we moved the trip to Veruppankulam. “Can you get it ready in two days?” “Yes!” We received the request from Kalana Sir at Veruppankulam a long time ago, but inflation and an […]
The Next Piece of the ‘Piku Pihi’ Puzzle is Falling into Place
The next puzzle of “Piku Pihi”, as we call it, is a remote online learning mechanism.

We need to express […]

Feeding the Future: Dr. Kiloshini and the Spirit of “Pirunu Kusak – Pirunu Hisak”
In Sri Lanka, a simple yet profound phrase, “Pirunu Kusak Pirunu Hisak,” encapsulates a powerful vision for community upliftment. Meaning roughly “A Full Stomach, A Full Head,” it champions the fundamental belief that for a child to truly thrive and learn, their basic needs must first be met. This inspiring philosophy is at the heart […]
Maha Ehatuwewa School: SFP 13
This school, Maha Ehatuwewa , is one of the biggest endeavors we’ve undertaken. The need became clear during a trip to donate equipment for their dance room—a link to that story is at the very bottom of this post. It was a memorable visit because, despite the school’s long history, that was the very first […]
SFP Isn’t Just About Serving Food
For some, the phrase “SFP” might only bring to mind the image of a meal being served. But for those who are part of the mission, it’s about so much more. On September 21, 2022, a message was shared that beautifully captured the true spirit of this work. It was a simple question about a […]
A Dream Copied!
They copied it! That was the plan all along. We wanted to create a format that could be easily replicated, a template for others to follow. Ruhuna did it. Ratnapura will do it soon. Thank you, Madam Gayani Deepika Punchihewa, for copying it so beautifully. Dreams are not just things you see; they are things […]
