Give the Gift of Education, Give Hope

Registered UK Charity No. 1188481

Sai supports charitable organisations by raising funds to help them carry out their charitable activities. He will be taking part in the Halloween Walk in London on 31 October 2026 in support of OSUK’s charitable activities.

OSUK sincerely appreciates Sai’s generosity, commitment and continued support. We are especially grateful that Sai will be undertaking this charity walk for the third time in support of OSUK’s efforts to improve education, healthcare and wellbeing in underserved communities in Sri Lanka.

Our Society United Kingdom (OSUK), established in 2016, is a respected, volunteer-driven charity dedicated to improving the education, health and wellbeing of underprivileged children and communities in Sri Lanka.

We currently operate across the Amparai, Batticaloa and Upcountry regions, working to improve educational opportunities, empower women, and increase access to essential healthcare and community services in remote and underserved areas.

Your Donation Goes Further

Importantly, our annual overhead costs are less than £300. This means that virtually every donation we receive goes directly towards supporting our projects and the people and communities we serve.

When you donate to OSUK, you are helping us turn generosity into practical, life-changing support where it is needed most.
