Kaavya Pathirana

Communications Lead

Kaavya has worked as the Communications Officer with Emerge back in 2015 for two years and fell in love with fighting for the cause. She later joined Habitat for Humanity Sri Lanka and was able to travel around the island while writing about the transformational impact of poverty housing, and was able to expand on her Resource Development skill set in that capacity. The work of Emerge remained close to Kaavya's heart and purpose, and she returned back to Emerge in 2020 to continue to fight for the cause. She sees the Emerge participants as some of the strongest young women in society - and is a huge advocate for their untapped potential to re-claim their life and power. Kaavya is determined to make space in the digital world for the powerful stories of impact that Emerge witnesses from it's programme participants every day. Kaavya is passionate about creating awareness on the cause and advocating for survivors, and enjoys bringing that energy into shaping Emerge narratives.
