The FL Foundation of the FLH Group has launched the FLH Parent Sponsor Programme, an initiative aimed at supporting the education of children from low-income families and helping them build a brighter future.
Established in 2018, the FL Foundation implements a range of social development initiatives focused on empowering children and women from low-income families. Through its FLH Sathkaara programme, the Foundation has completed 235 projects across Sri Lanka, providing assistance valued at more than Rs. 110 million and directly benefiting approximately 45,000 people.
The FLH Parent Sponsor Programme is the latest initiative under the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to social development. Its primary objective is to ensure that children from low-income families can continue their education without interruption.
Driven by the belief that education can transform a child’s future, the programme brings together donors and a leading bank to provide assistance to children in need and help them pursue their education.
During the first phase, the programme will cover the monthly educational expenses of 100 children for one year. In addition to educational support, the initiative will also address other essential needs, including healthcare and sports, according to each child’s age and individual requirements.
The FLH Group also plans to introduce a range of initiatives through its establishments across the country in the coming weeks and months. These programmes will focus on supporting the education, knowledge and overall well-being of thousands more children.
Children who require assistance through the FLH Parent Sponsor Programme can be identified and referred through local Grama Niladharis, religious leaders or school principals. Individuals who wish to contribute to the education of children in need can also participate as sponsors.
