About us

Deepam Foundation – named after our founder, Theepika, whose name itself signifies “light,” we are a charitable organization dedicated to bringing hope and transformation to the lives of those in need.


As a passionate humanitarian, Theepika is deeply committed to issues such as human rights, humanitarian aid, sustainable development, and peace.


Born a refugee child, Theebi’s parents fled their home country due to civil war, and she grew up experiencing firsthand what it feels like to have nothing. But instead of letting her circumstances define her, Theepika used her experiences as a source of inspiration and motivation. With a deep understanding of the challenges faced by refugees and marginalized communities, she developed a strong thirst for justice and equity at a young age, and a profound sense of responsibility to take care of our planet and its people.


From a young age, Theepika has been driven by a strong thirst for justice and equity, and a deep understanding of our responsibility to take care of our planet and people. Today she is a powerful voice for change, working tirelessly to make the world a better place.


With a relentless commitment to creating change, Theepika has made it her life’s mission to fight for the rights of the marginalized and vulnerable, and to promote sustainable development that benefits both people and the planet.

Through her work, Theepika has inspired countless others to take action and make a difference and has become a powerful voice for change in the global community. 


Whether it’s working on the frontlines of humanitarian crises, advocating for policy change, or raising awareness about critical issues, Theepika is always pushing the boundaries and striving for a better future.


With a burning fire inside her and a clear vision in her mind, she founded the Deepam Foundation, an organization dedicated to reducing poverty using sustainable methods and addressing injustices and inequalities.
