Since its launch early this year, MAZE have been creating fun, colourful socks inspired by various Sri Lankan elements like Kokis, and traditional Raaksha masks in Sri Lanka. Commenting on their partnership Prabath Seneviratne, the founder of MAZE said “I started MAZE, as I wanted to be involved in something I would enjoy, plus I wanted to be able to give back to our community. Prithpura Communities started on the premise that people with disabilities should have equal access to a family life, education, work opportunities and community integration. They believe that people with disabilities should also have the freedom to express themselves and ultimately live a life free of stigma. At MAZE we believe in allowing people to express their personalities regardless of who they are through what they wear.”
He further added, “We want to take this opportunity to highlight the positive work done at Prithipura and get them the recognition they deserve and more funding”.
