Every second counts in a medical emergency.

When a person experiences sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), immediate CPR can double or even triple their chances of survival. Yet, thousands of lives are lost in Sri Lanka each year simply because people around them don’t know what to do.

Hello, I’m Shakun Croos, and this mission is deeply personal to me.

My journey in first aid began in 2004 when I joined an international humanitarian organization as a first aider, working with communities devastated by the tsunami in Sri Lanka. Witnessing the power of first aid in saving lives—and the tragedy of not knowing what to do-changed my life forever.

Determined to make a difference, I dedicated myself to learning and teaching first aid, eventually becoming a senior first aid trainer. Over the past 16 years, I’ve conducted more than 2,300 first aid training sessions, reaching over 60,000 people across Sri Lanka. But despite these efforts, I realized something was missing.

Many people who needed first aid knowledge the most-those in rural communities, small businesses, schools, and homes-were never trained. Unlike corporate workplaces, they had no medical backup, no emergency responders, and often, no means to afford training.

Throughout my career, I have heard heartbreaking stories. Parents who lost children, children who lost parents, and people who watched helplessly as loved ones died-simply because they didn’t know CPR or basic first aid. Many told me, "If only we had known what to do, we could have saved them."

That’s why I started Learn. Act. Save. - to give everyone a chance to learn life-saving skills, regardless of their financial situation.
