Pelpola Vipassi Foundation USA, Inc
Building Bridges Through Education, Compassion, and Buddhist Teachings
About Pelpola Vipassi Foundation USA
The Pelpola Vipassi Foundation was established to continue the lifelong humanitarian and religious work of Venerable Pelpola Vipassi Thero. For five decades, Ven. Vipassi has built bridges between Sri Lanka and international supporters—especially in Japan—creating schools, temples, peace pagodas, and welfare programs that serve children, families, and pilgrims. Our Foundation is dedicated to propagating Buddhist teachings, promoting communal harmony, and establishing educational and welfare institutions that transform lives.
Through our comprehensive programs, we address the most pressing needs in our communities: providing educational opportunities through scholarships and nursery education, delivering humanitarian aid and medical relief to vulnerable families, supporting Buddhist cultural and religious activities, and developing critical infrastructure including temples, dagobas, community halls, and pilgrim facilities. The Japan-Sri Lanka Friendship Free Nursery School exemplifies our commitment to accessible education and cultural exchange.
