Sri Lanka Foundation Institute

Sri Lanka Foundation Institute is an adult education and training centre which came into being in 1974, subsequent to its establishment by the Sri Lanka Foundation Act Number 31 of 1973, to promote values of democracy and consensually accepted principles on people’s rights, in the form of education. Social progress and good human relations are the reflections of such education and training which have been known as preludes of harmonious and just living. The service of five decades as an adult trainer has given a true form of leadership in adult education of Sri Lanka, where SLFI has been able to create a very strong network taking its services to a vast cross section of the population of the country.
