About us
DreamSpace Academy is a non-profit social enterprise tackling local socio-economic and environmental challenges through challenge-based learning, grassroots innovation and impact venture building. Our mission is to achieve sustainable development goals in Sri Lanka by empowering underserved communities, protecting environmental ecosystems, facilitating peacebuilding and fostering sustainable startups. Three decades of civil war in Sri Lanka caused a massive impact on socio-economy and environmental ecosystems. International aid provided significant support, but imported solutions couldn't solve fundamental local problems sustainably. We set out to empower locals to solve complex local challenges !!!

🎉 Celebrating Yalini's Selection for Bookbridge's 23rd Capability Program!!! 🚀 We’re proud to announce that Yalini Pushpakanthan, a dedicated social entrepreneur from DreamSpace Academy, has been selected for BOOKBRIDGE's 23rd Capability Program. 🔻 Yalini comes from a village on Sri Lanka’s East Coast, where farming supports over 1,000 families. However, high commissions from middlemen often prevent farmers from earning a fair income. 🔻 Motivated to make a difference, Yalini began refining farm products like wild honey to sell directly to local customers—cutting out middlemen and ensuring farmers receive their fair share. 🔻 Through Bookbridge’s Capability Program, Yalini will collaborate with a team of experts to transform her efforts into a thriving social enterprise in Kathiraveli, aiming to scale this impactful model across Sri Lanka and beyond. 👉 For more info https://lnkd.in/gzYjVphj 👆 Follow us for more empowering stories !!! #education #empowerment #socialentrepreneurship #innovation #srilanka
