About Inner Light Trust
We are a Sri Lanka charity dedicated to improving the lives of people with autism, mental health challenges, and related needs — through compassionate, person-centred support.
Our Story
Inner Light Trust was founded on a simple but powerful belief: that every person, regardless of their challenges, deserves to be seen, heard, and supported. We were established to fill a gap in provision for people with autism and mental health needs who were falling through the cracks of mainstream services.
From our earliest days, we have been driven by the experiences of the individuals and families we serve. Their stories shape everything we do — from the programmes we design to the way we show up for people in their most difficult moments.
Today, Inner Light Trust operates across the Sri Lanka, delivering a range of services that combine evidence-informed practice with genuine human warmth. We are proud to be a charity that puts people first — always.
Our Mission
