Founder's Day · 23 Aug
Welcome
A family of families — built on the unique magic of twinhood.
The Sri Lanka Twins Organization (SLTO) was founded in 1993 by identical twins Upuli and Chamali Gamage. What began as a small gathering of multiples has grown into a thriving community of over 28,000 members nationwide — celebrating the bond, lifting the families, and putting Sri Lankan twin culture on the world map.
SLTO welcomes twins, triplets and multiples from every background. We celebrate Founder's Day each 23rd of August, host the country's only twin cricket and badminton teams, and host the world's largest twin cultural gatherings.
Our mission
Uniting multiples, lifting families, building a kinder world.
Our purpose is to unite local and international multiples — and through that unity, develop the education, livelihood, and dignity of every family.
Beyond borders
Building unity across Sri Lankan and international multiple communities — sharing skills, traditions, and a shared identity.
Stories shared
Through media, music, dance, and sport — we put the joys and challenges of twin life into the public conversation.
