Kindergarten

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.

The kindergarten in Kimbissa was our fist Lanka-Help project. In 1990 did we build this kindergaten and playground.In the meantime has the kindergarten grown and new furniture was needed. Lanka-Help covers not only all running cost such as school supplies, electricity and repairs, but also pays the salaries of both teachers as well as a yearly excursion, gifts and the celebrations for Children’s Day, christmas and Sri-Lanka-New-Year (celebrated in april).
