Free Mathematics and English classes for students around Kandy area was started in October 2005. We have identified a children's home at Mawilmada, a suburb of Kandy, for the first phase of the project.
Sarana Sewana Children's Home
Sarana Sewana Children's home is managed by the Sri Lankan government, under the Social Service Ministry. The government allocates Rs.10.00 per day for each student, which is clearly not enough even for a single balanced meal. Hence they mostly depend on the donations received from outsiders and volunteer organizations. The building belongs to a charity organization in Kandy. They support the government with the management.
Matron is Miss. Padma Liyanage.
Adress: Mawilmada, Kandy, Sri Lanka
Phone number: (081) 222 2514.
There are 22 boys in this children's home. The classes are conducted twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays 3-5.00pm. Three classes are conducted for different academic levels of students, grouped as below.
Group A: Grade 1-5 - 9 students
Group B: Grade 6,7,8 - 8 students
Group C: Grade 9,10 - 5 students
