A total of four clinics were conducted, with a doctor and a nurse volunteering their services free of charge. The charity also supplied a family practice blood pressure machine to support the initiative. Other Pallikuda flood relief grant A request for assistance was received through a trustee to support residents of the Pallikuda area in Poonakary who had been affected by flooding.

Existing University students undergo a selection process upon completion of our charity eligibility form, which must be signed by their school principal and the Grama Sevaka (GS) in their area to validate their eligibility. Additionally, we conduct an annual review of students to assess if there have been any changes in their circumstances.

As a registered charity in the United Kingdom, the success of our work in Poonakary relies heavily on the commitment and dedication of volunteers such as these. Achievements and Performance Education . During the last financial period, the University Student Grant project successfully supported ten students in completing their studies. Currently, thity students are pursuing their university education across Sri Lanka. Advancing education in Poonakary remains one of the charity's core objectives.
Recipients of the grant are encouraged to give back to their communities through voluntary activities, such as providing extra tuition to local students, although the charity does not directly oversee these efforts. The charity also organized a Google Meet session with the studenls to maintain engagement and SUPF)Ort. The scholarship tuition project was discontinued after the education department began offering extra tuition. The A Level student's grant provided five students (A, B, C, D. and E) with support for travel expenses and educational equipment. Additionally, the two school students who received bicycles were able to attend school more easily. as confirmed by our volunteer, Mr. Anparasan.
