The protocol
What is Thuthimal?
In Sinhala, Thuthimal means “Flower of Gratitude.” It is a concept that embeds gratitude and recognition into our economic model.
We believe teaching is sacred work that deserves reciprocal care across time. Thuthimal allows anyone—past students, parents, or alumni associations—to sponsor Pro subscriptions for teachers as a gesture of honor.
For sponsors
Honor a teacher who changed your life. Provide them with the tools they need to flourish in their sanctuary.
