“Help our school children to get essential school supplies”

Mr. P. K. Marambage, Principal, Sri Dharmarama Vidyalaya, Ratmalana


Our school is one of the oldest schools in the country with a proud history of 144 years. At present, our college is developing as a primary school and has provided many facilities for the education of children. Our school educates students from age 5 to 10 in this area. The majority of them come from lower-income families. Due to the economic crisis in the country, the parents are losing jobs and struggling to even feed families. This has affect our students immensely in different aspects. Since the parents are struggling with economic crisis and their education level is low, the children’s are affected negatively. Also, as a result of the inflation the prices of school supplies gone up. Therefore, parents with lower-income families and parents without any job cannot afford children’s school supplies.

Therefore, we decided to raise funds to help these children who’s studying in our school. This will be a huge relief for parents with the current situation in the country. This project will be supervised by the Zonal Educational Office, Piliyandala.

We hope that your kind donations will enable us to purchase sufficient school supplies for 130 students. Therefore, each donation matters.

Thank you!
