Mithru

Mithru was founded in response to a reality many families quietly face. As careers expand globally and professional commitments intensify, parents in Sri Lanka often grow older while their children live abroad or manage demanding lives locally. The intention to be present remains strong — but physical presence is not always possible. This challenge was not theoretical. It was personal. Through her own experiences, Founder Ayesha Weerasinghe recognized a recurring concern: Who accompanies them to medical appointments? Who ensures errands are handled safely? Who simply sits beside them when the house feels too quiet? Mithru was built to answer that question. We are a trusted companion service dedicated to supporting elderly individuals in Sri Lanka. Our carefully selected and trained companions provide consistent, compassionate, and professional support — so that families everywhere can have peace of mind knowing their loved ones are never truly alone. What We Offer: Medical Appointment Accompaniment — Our companions escort elderly individuals to hospitals, clinics, and specialist visits. They assist with paperwork, communicate with medical staff, and ensure safe travel to and from appointments. Errand Assistance — From pharmacy visits to grocery runs, our companions handle daily errands with care and reliability, ensuring nothing essential is ever missed. Emotional Companionship — Sometimes the most valuable thing is simply having someone present. Our companions engage in meaningful conversation, shared activities, and genuine connection that reduces loneliness and brings warmth to everyday life. Home Visit Support — Regular home visits ensure that elderly individuals are comfortable, safe, and well looked after in their own familiar surroundings. Why Mithru? The name Mithru means friend in Sinhala. That is exactly what we aim to be — not just a service, but a trusted friend for your loved one and your family. Every companion on our platform is carefully vetted, trained, and matched to ensure genuine compatibility and trust. We understand that handing care responsibilities to someone outside the family is a significant decision. That is why transparency, reliability, and empathy are at the heart of everything we do. For families living abroad or managing demanding schedules, Mithru bridges the distance. For elderly parents at home, Mithru brings companionship, dignity, and support. Because growing older should never mean growing alone.
