About Vitiligo Sri Lanka

Vitiligo Sri Lanka stands as the nation’s sole volunteer-based organization devoted exclusively to representing and supporting individuals living with vitiligo. With a mission that goes far beyond mere representation, the organization actively engages in a broad spectrum of patient-centered initiatives designed to empower and uplift the vitiligo community across the island.

At its core, Vitiligo Sri Lanka is committed to education—informing both patients and caregivers about the condition to foster better understanding and management. The organization provides practical assistance, ensuring that those affected have access to vital resources and support networks. Recognizing the deep psychological impact vitiligo can have, they organize mental health support programs, prioritizing emotional well-being alongside physical health.

Vitiligo Sri Lanka also conducts free health camps, offering necessary treatments at no cost to patients who might otherwise face financial barriers. These camps symbolize the organization’s dedication to accessibility and compassionate care.

Annual events, particularly those held around World Vitiligo Day, play a significant role in their efforts to raise awareness and foster solidarity. These programs unite the community and engage the public, challenging stigma and promoting acceptance.

Driven entirely by volunteers, Vitiligo Sri Lanka exemplifies grassroots activism, rooted in empathy, education, and action. Through their work, they create a lifeline for many who might feel isolated by their condition, building a more informed, inclusive, and supportive society for all living with vitiligo in Sri Lanka.
