About Us

Rooted in Theravada Buddhist teachings, Pinpotha is designed for the Sinhala Buddhist community and Buddhists worldwide, creating a modern and convenient way to document, share, and inspire acts of kindness and charity.

- Promote Charity and Events: Enable users to organize and participate in pinkam events and charity initiatives, fostering generosity and compassion.
- Inspire Buddhist Values: Motivate individuals to embrace Theravada Buddhist beliefs and practice dāna (giving), sīla (morality), and bhāvanā (meditation) as part of their spiritual journey.
