Fabrication and donation of school desks and chairs & vocational training programme with Homagama Technical College

In an effort to contribute towards the development of rural schools and the uplifting of rural education, we donated school desks and chairs to underprivileged schools in the country. The objective behind the project was to improve the learning environment of rural schools. The project was implemented in three different phases:

  1. Make a better use of the scrap/waste materials disposed from construction sites.
  2. Industry advancement through facilitation of monetary support and other support to the trainees at Homagama Technical College.
  3. Facilitation of rural education through provision of required classroom infrastructure.
From the inception, we have distributed 2,940 pairs of desks and chairs among a selection of 83 schools around the island to date. Simultaneously a Vocational Training Programme was developed in collaboration with Homagama Technical College for the purpose of industry advancement through facilitation of training and development to rural youth. All material and equipment were provided for the training programme and to the trainees at the Homagama Training College. A special incentive scheme was also arranged to encourage participation and to sustain carpentry and the welding Industry. Trainees in return fabricated desks and chairs adhering to strict specifications issued by the Ministry of Education.
