Learning Bridge: Educational Support for Upcountry Care Homes Children

This initiative focuses on providing educational support to children living in care homes across Upcountry Sri Lanka. These children, many of whom face significant hardships, require tailored tuition and remedial education to catch up with their peers and transition into formal schooling.

The Reunion of Ninety-Three Batch Inc., Toronto, Canada, is proud to announce a generous contribution of Rs. 380,000.00 to the Maranatha Children’s Home in Badulla. This funding will provide four dedicated teachers with a monthly allowance of Rs. 38,000 for the remainder of this year, ensuring continued support for the education and well-being of nearly 36 children at home.

This initiative aims to reduce the educational gap and provide a significant boost to the children’s learning journey. 

The Reunion of Ninety-Three Batch Inc., Toronto, Canada, was founded to celebrate the enduring bond among a group of individuals who studied in the Sri Lankan Tamil medium and completed their Advanced Level examinations in 1993. Last year, the group came together in Toronto to mark a special milestone—their fiftieth birthday reunion

In the spirit of giving back, the reunion also served as an opportunity to make a meaningful impact. The excess funds collected during the event were generously donated to the LetUsHelpNow Foundation, supporting two ongoing projects in Sri Lanka. This contribution reflects the group’s commitment to uplifting communities and creating positive change, honouring their roots while making a difference in the lives of others.
