StandWithLK

About StandWithLK

StandWithLK is a solo-developed platform created to support Sri Lankans whose lives were devastated by the recent cyclone.

Across the country, families lost homes, farms, businesses, and the sources of income they relied on. Rebuilding any of these requires major financial support — often far beyond what relief aid alone can cover.

This platform was built to bridge that gap.

What StandWithLK Offers

StandWithLK allows affected individuals to:

  • Post homes, farms, businesses, and properties that were destroyed
  • Upload images, videos, and details of the damage
  • Categorize posts by severity: light, medium, or critically destroyed
  • Connect directly with donors and supporters
  • Receive comments and messages for coordination and site visits
  • Help people find damage near their location

No Fees, No Third Parties

There are no fees, no donations collected through the site, and no third-party involvement.

Just a simple, transparent way for people to share what they've lost — and for others to step in and help rebuild.

Our Mission

Every line of code, every screen, and every feature has been built by one developer, with one mission:

Built with the hope of helping Sri Lanka rise again — one step, one family, one community at a time.
