John Keells Foundation supported Habitat for Humanity Youth BUILD 2015 by donating towards the cause and providing staff volunteers to take part in the movement, which aims to provide awareness of the poor housing situation in the Asia-Pacific region and grow support for the vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

20 volunteers from the John Keells Group were part of a contingent of 600 volunteers from Sri Lanka who gathered together for the initiative on 21st March 2015. The mass shramadana was initiated to build of houses for the internally displaced in Trincomalee as well as building relationships and bridging together communities from all parts of the country in the true spirit of volunteerism.
