TAKING SRI LANKA TO SPACE! 🇱🇰

Mission ShakthiSAT is a revolutionary all-female global space initiative led by Space Kidz India, bringing together 12,000 young girls from 108 countries to learn, collaborate, build and launch a scientific satellite destined for lunar orbit.

For Sri Lanka, this is more than a space mission. It is a historic milestone in education, science, technology and international collaboration.

This life-changing opportunity was brought to Sri Lanka through the visionary leadership of Dr. Sulochana Segera, Founder & Chairperson of Women in Management (WIM) Sri Lanka, in partnership with Space Kidz India.

🇱🇰 18-year-old Seneesa Goonewardena has been selected to represent Sri Lanka, carrying with her the raw scientific talent, curiosity and potential of a new generation of Sri Lankan girls.

Under the local guidance of Dr. Sulochana Segera, Seneesa will join young women from around the world at the Gautam Buddha University Integration Summit in India from August 22–31, 2026, gaining hands-on exposure to satellite technology, scientific collaboration and the process of assembling a satellite payload.

This is the beginning of something much bigger.

From “Taking Sri Lanka to the World” to “Taking Sri Lanka to Space.” 🚀🇱🇰

The partnership between WIM Sri Lanka and Space Kidz India is creating far more than a single international opportunity. It is opening pathways for Sri Lankan girls to access STEM education, advanced technology, scientific innovation and high-value global careers.

Dr. Sulochana Segera’s vision extends beyond sending one student to India. It is about building a generation of girls who believe that the sky is not the limit because they can go beyond it.

One girl. One opportunity. One nation. A whole generation inspired.

We are incredibly proud of Seneesa Goonewardena and excited to see her carry the Sri Lankan flag into this extraordinary global mission.

🇱🇰🚀 Sri Lanka is not just reaching for the stars. Sri Lanka is building its future among them.

When They Held the Youth Top40 Trophy in Their Hands…

It was more than just a trophy. It was a symbol of hope, resilience, and the incredible journey of young achievers.

The Youth Top40 Trophy is uniquely crafted from a special stone, designed in the form of a Lotus Flower in bloom a powerful representation of the journey of youth.

Like the lotus that rises beautifully from muddy waters, every young person has the strength to overcome struggles, challenges, and obstacles in life. Their experiences shape them, their resilience strengthens them, and one day they bloom into their full potential.

This meaningful symbol was designed by New Generation Founder Dr. Sulochana Segera as a tribute to the courage, dreams, and future of young leaders.

The Youth Top40 Trophy design is a Trademark owned by Women in Management (WIM), protecting its unique identity and the powerful message it represents.

To every Youth Top40 awardee may you continue to rise, inspire, and bloom like the lotus. 🌸
