FOUNDATION.LK, a not-for-profit initiative dedicated to equipping Sri Lankans with the knowledge, skills, and resources to navigate the digital world safely and confidently, officially launched its latest initiative, the “DiGiSavi” project, on 24th March 2026 at the SLFI Auditorium. The initiative aims to promote responsible digital citizenship while unlocking opportunities in an increasingly digital society.
The launch event marked a significant milestone in Sri Lanka’s journey toward inclusive digital empowerment, bringing together key stakeholders, partners, and community representatives whose collective efforts have made this initiative a reality.
DiGiSavi is a nationwide initiative powered by FOUNDATION.LK, designed to empower communities through digital skills development, access to services, cybersafety awareness and innovation. Through a growing network of 50 DiGiSavi Centers recognised by Foundation.LK, the project focuses on bridging the digital divide, particularly at the grassroots level by ensuring equitable access to digital opportunities across the country.
Addressing the gathering, Secretary to the Ministry of Digital Economy, Mr. Waruna Sri Dhanapala, emphasized the timely relevance of the project, noting its potential to enhance digital literacy and empower Sri Lankan communities through emerging technologies, including AI. Prof. Gihan Dias, Domain Registrar and CEO of the LK Domain Registry, reflected on the origins of the initiative and its evolution under the LK Domain Registry.
Project Manager Gayani Perera provided an overview of the DiGiSavi initiative, outlining its objectives, implementation approach, and the impact it aims to create across communities nationwide.
A special highlight of the event was the recognition of the DiGiSavi Centers, each of which were present received a Certificate of Recognition along with official DiGiSavi branding items. This gesture acknowledged their commitment and readiness to serve as key touchpoints in delivering digital empowerment at the community level.
Finally, the CEO of FOUNDATION.LK, Niroja Jayawickrama, expressed appreciation to all attendees, partners, and DiGiSavi Centre representatives who had travelled from across many parts of the country. She acknowledged their shared belief in the initiative and highlighted that this marks the beginning of a transformative journey toward digital inclusion.
A key highlight of the launch was the announcement of DiGiSavi’s ambitious national target to reach one million beneficiaries across Sri Lanka through its DiGiSavi Centers. This bold goal reflects a strong commitment to ensuring that digital transformation is inclusive, accessible, and meaningful for communities in every region. The official website, www.digisavi.lk, was also launched at the event, providing a platform for information, engagement, and future expansion.
As DiGiSavi begins its journey, it represents a significant step toward building a more connected, inclusive, and digitally empowered Sri Lanka. We invite centers across the country that share this vision to join our network and be part of the DiGiSavi journey.
