In the spirit and vision of uplifting the community in which it operates, the Stax Colombo office partnered with Sarvodaya Community Kitchen to tackle the rising food shortage and growth deficiencies among children of low-income families by supporting identified preschoolers in Colombo.   


A combination of post-pandemic economic slumps, geopolitics, and global inflation, has severely heightened Sri Lanka’s rates of food insecurity, especially among minors. The rising inflation has contributed to the economic hardships of these communities, impacting their day-to-day lives. 


The Sarvodaya Community Kitchen initiative serves urban communities, with a focus on pre-schools and primary schools—serving hot meals prepared on-site at education facilities, while encouraging community pooling of resources and labor, to sustain this essential service. 


Since the commencement of this project, Stax Colombo has provided safe, nutritious meals to over 60 children identified as immediately requiring food assistance, totaling over ~13,900 meals. The program was rolled out in 2023 and will continue to serve communities in 2025.
