Grassroots Foundation is based on recognition and respect for the Multi-cultural, Multi Ethnic, and Multi religious Society of SriLanka. The main components to our work – a progressive think tank doing research and producing materials on Social justice issues, and an educational component that collaborates with other groups to popularize these ideas.

We shall strictly observe the right of the individual to practice his own faith and respect laws of the land.
