Mihimaw Science Foundation (MSF)

History
MSF is a collective of independent activists who have served in civil society organizations over the last ten years. Groups of independently active academics, thinkers and activists who were already contributing substantially to sustainable development and peace integrated themselves into a positive and formalized force in order to focus and channel their ideas and energies to optimal levels and the Mihimaw Science Foundation (MSF) was born. The foundation has also networked itself to carefully selected active farming societies, national level women’s organizations and groups of youth who work under the concept of a “better” world who also felt the same needs and let positive support to the efforts of the new foundation.

The MSF was inaugurated on 17th May 2003. MSF is working to help communities in Sri Lanka that have been adversely affected by globalization and modern development policies to achieve sustainable development, social equity and a voice in policy making through advocacy and community support services in environmental, development research and education.
