Meet Stephanie Siriwardhana

Founder & Executive Director, Infinite Grace Foundation

Stephanie Siriwardhana is a storyteller, a creator, and a woman who has spent her life turning pain into purpose and art into healing. Born and Raised across continents, Stephanie has always believed that love, dignity, and hope have the power to transform lives and that no one should ever feel unseen.

She first stepped into the public eye as Miss Sri Lanka for Miss Universe, later becoming a television host, singer, performer, and creative voice trusted by brands and audiences across the country. But behind the stages and the spotlight, her true calling has always been service. Stephanie is the Founder of the Infinite Grace Foundation, where she works with prisoners, survivors, children, and vulnerable communities to restore dignity, purpose, and possibility in places where hope is often forgotten.

Her work spans many worlds; music, mental health, rehabilitation, corporate training, women’s empowerment, and youth leadership. She speaks openly about her own journey through mental health struggles, reminding people that it is okay to not be okay, and that healing begins the moment someone feels seen.

“I See You,” her debut single and national campaign, is the heart of that message. It is a movement built on compassion, rooted in lived experience, and created to remind every person that their story matters. Through music, mirrors, carnivals, journals, ambassador networks, and year-long mental health initiatives, Stephanie is leading a new kind of national conversation, one grounded in love, courage, and humanity.

Stephanie believes that real change begins when we dare to see ourselves and each other with kindness and love because love never fails. Her mission is simple and powerful: to help people find their light again and to build a world where nobody has to suffer in silence.

This is her journey. This is her heart.
Welcome to I See You.

Infinite Grace Foundation brings together years of grassroots humanitarian work with a growing national vision for structured, sustainable and measurable social impact. Our broader question is not simply "How do we help someone today?" It is also "What does this human being need in order to rise tomorrow?" That philosophy shapes every area of our work — from prison classrooms to school programmes, from Dear Stephanie to the I SEE YOU Gala.

A Unified Ecosystem

Prison Rehabilitation
For nearly 12 years, Infinite Grace has worked inside Sri Lankan prisons to support rehabilitation, education, dignity, family connection and reintegration. A human being should never be defined solely by the worst decision they have made.
Mental Health
Mental health, made accessible and human — the I SEE YOU movement runs school programmes, free community Carnivals, trained listener Circles, Dear Stephanie and a podcast, all built on one belief: you are not alone.
Education
We bring structured Mathematics, Science and English support to Sri Lanka's tea-estate communities through the Wings of Grace learning bus — with digital literacy, life skills and confidence, measured against real academic outcomes rather than attendance.
Community Development
From free wellbeing carnivals to humanitarian relief after disasters, Infinite Grace works alongside underserved communities — meeting immediate needs while building longer-term pathways to dignity, opportunity and belonging.
Women Empowerment
Vocational and livelihood development creates real pathways to financial independence for women and families — building skills, confidence and dignity alongside safe, supportive community spaces.
