Sri Lanka Flood Relief – Thank You for Your Support
Sri Lanka is facing one of its worst natural disasters in recent years, with floods and landslides causing widespread loss of life, destruction of homes, and severe damage to essential infrastructure. Our thoughts are with everyone affected during this difficult time.
In response, Friends of Lanka Inc. issued an urgent appeal — and your generosity was immediate and extraordinary. Within just 24 hours, our FOL family contributed $13,500 (LKR 2.7 million), which has already been sent through the SL government disaster relief fund, to support emergency relief efforts.
As the Sri Lankan Government has now opened an AUD account for direct donations, our FOL flood-relief campaign is closed. Those wishing to continue supporting affected communities may donate directly to the official account below:

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed. Your compassion and unity reflect the true spirit of our community.
Our Flagship Project: Help Learn - English Program
From 2025 onwards, FOL has shifted its focus from distributing stationery to enhancing children's English proficiency and life skills in remote schools with limited resources. Under the Help Learn project, we launched English language programs at Kallanchiya Maha Vidyalaya in Anuradhapura and Woodlands Primary School in Galle. These programs are designed as activity-based, fun-filled sessions for primary-level children. The initiative began with two one-day camps at the schools and has now continued with weekly two-hour sessions, which the children have warmly embraced and thoroughly enjoyed
First one day camp
The Help Learn English Language Program's first one-day camp, held on 15 August 2025 at Kallanchiya Maha Vidyalaya in Anuradhapura District, was a huge success. The children had never experienced anything like it before.
Second one-day camp
The second day camp, held on 20 August 2025 at Woodlands Primary School in Galle, demonstrated the kids' enthusiasm for the program and their eagerness to participate in the camp's activities.
After-school English Language Program Activities
A beautiful performance at our weekly English Language Program, held every Thursday after school. The children truly enjoy these unique activities—experiences they’ve never had before—which not only enhance their English proficiency but also help them develop valuable life skills
