January 14, Colombo (LNW): On Duruthu Poya Day (January 13), the Nelum Yaya Foundation kicked off its annual social service initiative, bringing much-needed support to children in the Mahiyangana Education Zone.
Sponsored by Finnland Holdings Group, the programme provided school shoes, bags, and educational kits to 50 children from low-income families attending some of the region’s most underprivileged schools.
This year’s project was organised by the founder of the ‘Suwethi Daruwan’ initiative, Principal Priyantha Bandara, who has been a dedicated advocate for improving educational opportunities for disadvantaged children.
Bandara expressed his hopes to expand the programme significantly, with plans to support 1,000 schoolchildren next week.
For the past four years, the Nelum Yaya Foundation has been actively involved in providing educational assistance to children facing numerous challenges.
The foundation is deeply committed to promoting quality education for these young learners, particularly those living in difficult circumstances.
Through their initiatives, they aim to reduce the barriers to education and ensure that children across Sri Lanka have access to the tools they need to succeed.
At the Nelum Yaya Foundation, the focus remains on easing the hardships faced by children who pursue their studies despite facing adversity.
The foundation welcomes contributions and invites anyone interested in supporting the cause to join their efforts by reaching out via email at [email protected].
Together, the foundation believes they can bring smiles to the faces of these children, whose educational journeys are now made a little easier thanks to this compassionate initiative.
Today and tomorrow, they continue to spread their love and support to those in need.
