In a celebration at the SOS Children’s Village in Galle recently, Street Burger – a leading home-grown restaurant chain – commemorated International Burger Day with an event that blended joy, community, and purpose. What began as a day of festivities culminated in a pledge by Street Burger to support SOS Children’s Villages Sri Lanka over the coming year.
The event brought together children, mothers, and Street Burger staff for an afternoon filled with engaging activities—face painting, games, and, of course, the signature gourmet burgers for which Street Burger has come to be known. The day was a celebration of shared moments, simple joys, and heartfelt connection.
Street Burger Co-Founder Ameen Al Tharique said, “There’s no greater reward than seeing a child’s face light up with joy. Our pledge goes beyond just financial aid—it’s a long-term commitment to nurturing the future of Sri Lanka’s children, and we’re proud to partner with SOS Children’s Villages to uplift and empower the next generation.”
Street Burger Co-Founder Masoon Samoon said, “The work that SOS Children’s Villages do in ensuring children receive high-quality care in a nurturing environment is truly inspiring. We have to acknowledge that this donation has primarily been made possible with the support of our loyal customers who have brought us to where we are today.”
The pledged monetary donation will support core programs such as education, youth development, and family strengthening initiatives across SOS Children’s Villages in Sri Lanka. These initiatives are designed to help children grow up in safe, supportive environments where they can thrive emotionally, socially, and academically.
SOS Children’s Villages Sri Lanka National Director Divakar Ratnadurai said, “This was more than just a day of celebration—it was a reaffirmation of the value and potential of every child. We are grateful to Street Burger for their generosity and belief in our work. Their support will ensure that more children receive the care, love, and opportunities they deserve.”
