Women Empowerment

The definition of women’s empowerment is ensuring women have control over their own lives. This includes having a strong sense of self-worth, the freedom to make choices, and the right to access resources equally, such as independent income. Supporting women’s self-empowerment means assisting women in accessing more opportunities for employment and financial independence. This can include working on skills development to increase employability. In turn, this boosts women’s confidence and quality of life. In SHF’s volunteer projects, supporting women’s empowerment can be done through education and skills training to expand the career choices available to women in the communities we work with. This gives women the chance to improve their economic status and well-being, as well as helping to break cycles that perpetuate gender discrimination and inequality.

Human Rights

Human rights form the backbone of a just society, and their protection enables individuals and collectives to pursue their desired ends. Yet human rights are too frequently disregarded or revoked when politically expedient or viewed as obstacles to political, environmental, and economic objectives. A just rule of law protects and enforces fundamental rights–the right to life and security of person; freedom of thought, religion, and expression; freedom of assembly and association; fundamental labor rights; the right to privacy; equal protection of the law; and due process of law. The main purpose of SHF work is to address issues based on the rights of vulnerable people in Sri Lanka.

Education

“Education program” is defined as any program principally engaged in the provision of education, including, but not limited to, early childhood education, elementary and secondary education, postsecondary education, special education, job training, career, and technical education, and adult education, and any program that is administered by an educational agency or institution. There are many difficulties faced by students to continue their studies. SHF is planning to develop the academic life of students who are unable to access quality education.

Media

Media literacy is essential because it helps people understand the messages that are being communicated to them. With so many sources of information today, media literacy can help people identify reliable sources and filter through the noise to get at the truth. Nowadays, Media has become the source of every small effect of society. Therefore, SHF has planned to guide the journalists and media professionals to work for rights-based activities in this country.

Technology

Technology has changed the life of human beings from ancient times to the modern era. The development in the world can be related to the changes in technology directly. Start of the day or end of the day, a common denominator in our life is technology. Therefore, SHF has planned to implement projects that enhance the technology of the people.
