About Us
Mankind Sweden (NGO) is an international non-governmental organization established in May 1997. Its mission is to support millions of people in developing democratic countries by fostering the principles of democracy, justice, and human rights. The organization focuses on strengthening these core values in nations where they are most needed.
Since its inception, Mankind Sweden (N.G.O) has engaged with numerous heads of state from leading industrial nations, including India, as well as with the United Nations. These collaborations aim to identify and implement effective strategies for promoting democracy, justice, and human rights in developing democracies.
Sri Lanka is a country that has faced significant crises in the past. At Mankind, we strongly believe that the nation’s progress can be greatly enhanced by strengthening human rights, upholding democratic principles, and implementing effective economic reforms.
We would like to emphasize that Mankind Sweden (NGO) engaged with Sri Lankan government leaders on numerous occasions during the country’s internal civil war, striving to find solutions to bring an end to the conflict.
The newly elected President came to power with a commitment to zero tolerance for racism, equal rights for all citizens, and a strong stance against corruption. We must all come together to support the President of Sri Lanka and his government, who won a majority in parliament. By working in cooperation with the government and citizens, we can help implement a true democracy in Sri Lanka.
We must also work together to help lift the country from its past financial crisis and create hope and opportunities for the citizens of Sri Lanka. The difference will be clear when we care and take action. Let us all awaken to the cause and work together through the Mankind Project to make a lasting impact.
At Mankind Sweden (N.G.O), we believe in thinking positively and working with purpose. We welcome anyone with positive ideas to share them with us and join in making those ideas a reality.
Achievement doesn’t demand extraordinary abilities. It is the result of applying ordinary abilities with extraordinary persistence. Together, we can achieve extraordinary persistence.

For your information.
Mankind (Sweden) recognizes the serious challenges faced by the people of Sri Lanka and understands the long-standing climate of fear that has prevented many from openly condemning human rights violations and other misconduct. Historically, individuals who voiced dissent have faced enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and torture in the past. These realities continue to suppress free expression and civic participation.
For a country to achieve sustainable progress, active citizen participation and consent are essential. Responsibility for national development cannot rest solely with the ruling government; it requires cooperation across society. However, when fear prevents citizens from exercising their fundamental rights, civil society organizations have a duty to act.
In this context, Mankind (Sweden) steps forward to advocate for those whose voices remain silenced, promoting and safeguarding the principles of democracy, justice, accountability, and human rights in Sri Lanka.

WHO WILL SPEAK FOR ME?
History teaches us a lesson of the dangers of silence.
First, they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me.
Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)
