HELP LEARN - Stationery and School Supplies

Help Learn is Friends of Lanka’s first project, implemented annually to support school children from low-income families in remote areas of Sri Lanka. The project provided stationery and other essential school supplies, enabling students to remain in school and continue their education.

Launched in 2019 with 200 selected students across 3 districts, the project has grown steadily. By 2025 we have supported 2326 students from 7 districts, offering significant relief to families who otherwise struggled to afford basic educational needs.

  New Chapter Help Learn - English Program: As the Sri Lankan government takes the lead on providing school essentials, we are shifting our focus to education. Starting in 2025, our mission is to provide rural students with high-quality English language training.
