ANNUAL REPORT 2024/2025
We are pleased to report a diverse programme of support activities carried out during this period. Our dedicated teams have worked tirelessly to assist a large number of individuals in some of the most disadvantaged regions of Sri Lanka, in line with the aims and objectives set out in our governing Constitution. We extend our sincere thanks to everyone whose support has made these initiatives possible.
We have continue the programmes we had implemented last year which are, summarised below:
-
➢ Partnering with the local YMBA (Young Men’s Buddhist Association) to support sponsorship schemes, providing Year 5 students with essential items such as books and school uniforms.
-
➢ Supporting Year 5 students by enabling them to attend extra seminars alongside their regular lessons focus for the exams.
-
➢ Providing parents with access to affordable second-hand school uniforms.
-
➢ Offering school leavers the opportunity to participate in a welfare programme that provides guidance and support for future employment.
-
➢ Delivering a programme for low-income mothers, offering training for gardening, make handcrafts items and guidance for start small businesses.
-
➢ Organising meditation sessions for children.
-
➢ Introducing exam preparation seminars for GCSE and Advanced Level students to provide additional academic support.
-
➢ Running a wide range of fundraising activities, including car washing, gardening, fieldwork assistance, baking, cooking, and supporting local food and vegetable markets, all of which have been well received.
-
➢ Establishing after-school clubs to encourage children to socialise and engage in a variety of constructive activities.
-
➢ Distributing donated books to schools to support learning and literacy.
As demonstrated above, these initiatives provide valuable support to low-income families. Our charity is committed to helping children in rural areas access the same opportunities as those in more affluent communities. Access to quality education and resources can significantly improve life prospects, build confidence, and support the development of well-rounded individuals.
The charity remains committed to sustaining and developing the programmes outlined above and will, subject to the approval of the Trustees, seek to introduce further initiatives in the coming year. We extend our sincere thanks to all those who continue to support our work and warmly invite others who share our vision to become involved or, where possible, contribute through donations to help support these va-luable activities. We look forward to building on this progress and to another positive and successful year ahead.
