Immediate Relief and Long-Term Recovery

The Bounden Duty of the Man is to serve Man

International Buddhist Cultural Social Foundation

Our Foundation and Mission

The International Buddhist Cultural Social Foundation (IBCSF) is a registered non-profit organization dedicated to embodying the principle that “The Bounden Duty of the Man is to serve Man”. Operating from the Sri Mahabodi Maha Viharaya in Kandy , we mobilize local and international support to assist communities facing hardship and tragedy.

This country has recently experienced a disaster worse than the Tsunami and the Corona pandemic. Hundreds of thousands of people had to directly face this tragedy. We have been actively on the ground, helping others maintain their livelihoods as much as we can.

Our values

Think Big. Act Bigger.

Immediate Relief

We mobilize urgent aid, providing essential supplies like dry food, beverages, clothes, and household appliances (beds, kitchen items, washing machines, etc.) to victims and affected families.

Infrastructure Repair

We are committed to contributing to the restoration of destroyed short roads and canals in villages, ensuring communities can reconnect and access essential services.

Sustainable Rebuilding

Our long-term goal is to empower those who have lost their homes and property to build new homes and, where necessary, contribute to the purchase of new property.

Livelihood Support

We actively strengthen efforts to help others maintain their livelihoods. This ensures affected families can transition from receiving aid to achieving self-sufficiency and stability.

Past Projects

A Legacy of Service

Post-Disaster Housing: 36 Homes for Families

We built and delivered 36 safe, permanent homes for families displaced by recent disasters. This initiative created stability and empowerment, laying the foundation for long-term community recovery.

Empowering Fishermen: Essential Boat Motor Donation

We successfully donated essential boat motors and equipment to fishing communities devastated by coastal disasters. This immediately restored livelihoods, revitalizing local economies, and ensured financial independence.

‘Sisu Sarana’: Education and Scholarship Program

This program funds scholarships and provides essential learning supplies to deserving students from low-income families. We remove financial barriers, ensuring youth can pursue their academic ambitions and build a brighter future.

Decades of Service: Holistic Disaster Response

The IBCSF has provided critical aid during all major national crises, including war, Tsunami, COVID-19, and the 2025 floods. We ensure vulnerable populations receive food, supplies, and guidance when most needed.

Your Compassion Changes Everything

Your contribution helps families restore their livelihoods and rebuild homes lost to a disaster worse than the Tsunami and the Corona pandemic. Embrace the bounden duty of serving man.
