Your donation makes the difference!

Unfortunately, Sri Lanka has a high rate of victims of physical, sexual or psychological violence.

 

The Sambol Foundation aims to help women and children in Sri Lanka to help themselves.

 

Discriminated minorities are provided with shelter, stabilization and fixed structures in everyday life. Free forms of therapy, medical assistance in cases of sexual abuse and free access to legal aid in court cases are offered.

​

Traumatic experiences are first absorbed in a protected environment, after which a follow-up solution is worked out so that a self-determined life is possible for the victims of gender-based violence at a later date.

​

Every donation is valuable - thank you for your support. Bank donations are free of charge.

About us

The Sambol Foundation was founded in 2018 by Devika and Luca Salomon.
In 2017, after a long period of planning, they decided to tear down their tents in Zurich and put all their energy, together with their then 3-year-old daughter, into setting up the foundation on site. The structure and foundations were laid very precisely over 3 years together with the manager Inoka Gamage. Since 2021, they have spent 5-6 months a year in Sri Lanka to support the foundation's work on the ground.

​

The foundation enables people to help themselves. The shelters, trauma therapies, medical and legal assistance and support in everyday life provide initial stabilisation. After therapeutic and legal support, a follow-up solution is worked out, the children are educated and the women are integrated into the primary labour market so that a self-determined life is possible.

​

The name of the foundation comes from an addition to the Sri Lankan curry. A "sambol" is served as an extra with a curry to add colour and extra flavour. This should also apply to the foundation in a figurative sense.
