Vinuri Ganegoda

Founder & Director

The Soul Care began with a personal journey through difficult times and a promise: to build the support system that was missing. Today that promise is a growing community helping students across Sri Lanka.

“I would create the support system I once searched for, so others would never have to face those struggles alone.”

Advisory Board

Psychology, academic, marketing, and legal advisors who keep our work safe, ethical, and evidence-informed.
