Pimp My Tuk Tuk Asia (PMTT Asia) has successfully completed its third Sri Lanka Challenge, a seven-day, 1,350-kilometre charity rally that brought together a global community of riders, sponsors, and changemakers.

Held from September 20 to 26, the 2025 edition saw 42 participants from 11 countries journeying across Sri Lanka in custom-branded tuk tuks, raising funds for long-term community development initiatives delivered in partnership with the Foundation of Goodness.

This year's rally marked a powerful return for the PMTT initiative, last held in Sri Lanka in 2017. The 2025 ride, themed "Touching Lives, Making a Real Difference," combined personal adventure with collective impact, and stood out as the most ambitious to date in terms of reach, visibility, and community engagement.

Driving Change, One Village at a Time

The route began in Negombo, travelling through Kurunegala, Dambulla, Anuradhapura, Vavuniya, Kilinochchi, Jaffna, Mullaitivu, Trincomalee, Batticaloa, Bandarawela, Yala, Matara, and Galle, before concluding in Colombo. At each major stop, participants engaged in charitable outreach coordinated by the Foundation of Goodness, with the following project areas supported:

• Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Plants, providing clean drinking water to over 1,500 families

• School packs distributed to underserved children in rural areas

• Women's empowerment programs through village-based learning centres
