Projects

Lankahelp pays salaries to over 70 teachers at various schools, e.g. Haldummulla, Nagastena, Monaragala, Koslanda, Nagastenna, Ampitikanda, Kumbukanda and Kimbissa District Batticaloa, District Badulla etc.

The kindergarten in Sri Lanka is called preschool. During this time children already learn math, writing and reading in tamil, singhalese and english. These are very different styles of language.

Attending preschool is not govermentaly funded and must be paid solely by the parents. For many parents it is not possible to raise the funds, therefore will those children already be disadvantaged by reaching primary school. Lanka-Help wants to provide a better schoolstart for those children.

Many families need financial support to be able to send their children to school. To enable children to get a secondary education, Lankahelp grants a monthly scholarship of currently CHF 30.00 on average to children, juveniles and students at A-level, at universities and for vocational training, in addition to financial contributions from family and relatives. As of Sept. 2020, 153 schoolchildren and students are supported.

Mayomi, a young woman from Negombo, taught herself how to crochet and taught this technique to women from her grandfather’s village near Kurunegala. In the meantime, Mayomi supports and employs 12 women.

Our Goal with this project is to raise awareness in parent and students for education.
