Dear Donors,

Greetings, Well Wishes and Blessing to all of you from Tarana Foundation !

We thank you for all the assistance you have given towards this project in the past.

We greatly appreciate your contribution towards our signature project - to support rural students of remote schools on education and their essential needs, and also to support the rural schools with their basic requirements to raise the bar. With the support of your contribution, over the last 5 years and more, we have been able to support over 15,000 rural deserving students in most remote places in our country, to go to school. During the time we all faced Covid-19 pandemic situation and also afterwards the economic crisis we faced in our island, we were able to continuously help many students to keep them at school. The support extended by you no doubt helped them to be in school. Otherwise, they would have been pulled out of school by their parents to earn a living for the familly.

During the last couple of months, we were focussing on our other projects such as the Lady Ridgeway Hospital Project where we donated Orthopedic equipment worth Rs. 7.5 million and also started constructing a house for a deserving family in the Uva Province.

We hope to start raising funds again for this project as the new school term starts in January 2025, and this time we wish to support 3,000 students and in order to support this no. we require LKR 10 - 12 million (USD 40,000 approx) of funds.

We write to you to seek your benevolent support towards supporting deserving rural students in remote schools in Welikanda, war-tone area (Polonnaruwa District). Rebuilding is a struggle, but we want to give them a hand in their rebuilding process. The families in this area are still struggling to come out of poverty and the challenges they faced for many years.

I send herewith some of the photographs of the last such distribution that took place in March 2024. The stories we heard, and the parents gratitude on the donatio was immense. Its such a struggle for a parent having 2-3 children to send them to school, and this small gesture that we are able to perform through your magnanimity, unburden their financial difficulties.You will be blessed for all your support.

Thanking you once again for your support, please do help us to reach the target we wish to support in December 2024.

May you and your family be blessed abundantly !

Wishing that may all your noble aspirations be fulfilled

Best Regards

Suranjani Wickremeratne

Dear Donor,

We were able to support more than 2,500 students of remote schools during January - April 2023 with your support. Thank you for your donation and much blessings to you ! You have helped continue the education of many vulnerable students who would have otherwise dropped out of school during this year. We covered over 1,500 students in remote schools in Bandarawela (Uva Province), and the balance in schools in Matara & Galle (Southern Province), Polonnaruwa (North Central Province), Nikeweratiya, Wariyapola and Alawwa (North Western Province).

Now we are planning to support 3,200 students in Kataragama / Tanamalwila / Tissamaharamaya for the next new school term commencing in February 2024.

In order to support all the students, we need Rs.14 million. We have already raised Rs. 4 million and need a further Rs. 10 million.

We seek your kind assistance at the "Little by Little" Campaign run by GlobalGiving from the 18th of September (at 00:00:00 EDT) - 23rd of September (23:59:59 EDT). All donations upto USD 50 will attract a 50% bonus from GlobalGiving.

Donations made by eligible donors in the United States can claim a tax deductible contribution on United States tax returns. Donations made by eleigble donors in the UK can claim Gift Aid (an extra 25% added to eligible donations by the UK Government) when they donate in GBP.

We appreciate your support to raise as many donations of USD 50 or less to help those students who need our assistants. Your contribution will be enhanced by 50% and help the parents of the students who find it a challenge to send their children to school due to economic difficulties to lessen their burden.

Please do promote amongst your friends, relatives and collegues our project and help us reach our goal to support 3,200 remote students in rural schools.

Thank you once again for all your contributions and support.

May you and your family be blessed abundantly !
