Our Community Initiative
What is Roots & Wings?
Roots & Wings is a small community initiative by ACT Sri Lanka, created to support school children in Sri Lanka with essential learning resources.
The initiative supports local school communities with practical learning materials such as books, school supplies, and other essential educational resources.
It is community focused and connected to ACT Sri Lanka's wider approach to responsible tourism.
Travel should create value not only for visitors, but also for the people who call Sri Lanka home.

The ACT Sri Lanka Approach
Quiet, practical, and connected to Sri Lanka
ACT Sri Lanka views responsible tourism as part of a wider travel philosophy built around authenticity, respect, local communities, and culturally sensitive travel.
Roots & Wings is one small part of that approach.
Respect
Recognising local people, culture, and communities as part of the destination.
Authenticity
Designing journeys that feel connected to the real character of Sri Lanka.
Responsibility
Making thoughtful choices in how travel is planned, presented, and operated.
Community
Remembering the people and communities connected to the places our guests visit.
A Human Purpose
A simple idea with a human purpose
Roots & Wings began from a simple idea: tourism can create meaningful connections beyond the journey itself. Supporting learning resources is one practical way ACT Sri Lanka can recognise the communities connected to the destination we proudly share with our guests.
Travel Sri Lanka responsibly
Every ACT Sri Lanka journey is designed with respect for local culture, communities, and the places our guests visit.
