Save Yalla
A documentary project highlighting educational initiatives and community development in Tissamaharama, Sri Lanka
The Mission
Save Yalla works to empower their local community through education and sustainable development. Our goal was to create a compelling documentary that would bridge the gap between their grassroots efforts and potential international supporters, helping to secure resources for their educational programs.
