Empowering students, transforming lives.
We have so far helped over 5000 children with their learning needs and we are committed to making a positive impact in the lives of children in need, while relying on the generosity of our donors to achieve our mission. Listed below are some project that we have achieved so far.
In celebration of World Children’s Day, the Chestnut Foundation recently organised a special programme for the children of Palugolla Vidyalaya in Nikaweratiya, in the Kurunegala District. For many children in rural school communities, occasions like this are a rare chance to come together, be celebrated and simply enjoy being children.
As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting children and communities in need, we recently donated school bags and essential school supplies to underprivileged children at Palugolla Vidyalaya in Nikaweratiya.
We are delighted to have contributed to the children of Dimuthu Preschool in Hidogama, Anuradhapura, through a heartfelt donation of school bags and essential school supplies.
At Chestnut Education, we believe that meaningful change begins with access. Through the Chestnut Foundation, our dedicated CSR arm, we work to support communities where educational resources are limited, but potential is abundant.
Recently, the Chestnut Foundation organised a school book distribution programme for 35 children in Kadurupitiya village, located in the Anuradhapura District.
Chestnut Education recently supported an initiative in the Pawakkulama area of Anuradhapura, where essential school supplies were distributed to underprivileged children.
A school event was held at Kurulu Pre-School in Kokawiddawawa, Nochchiyagama, bringing together students, teachers, and members of the local community in a supportive and encouraging setting.
Recently, a school supplies distribution programme was carried out for the children of Shanthiwadi Sigithi Uyana Preschool in Nachdaduwa, Anuradhapura.

On 6 November 2025, the Chestnut Foundation proudly sponsored a school supplies distribution programme for 30 children from Ranajayapura Ranaviru Village in Anuradhapura. This initiative was aimed at supporting children from underprivileged backgrounds by ensuring they have essential learning materials to continue their education with confidence and enthusiasm.
At the Chestnut Foundation, we cherish every opportunity to celebrate children—their laughter, dreams, and boundless potential. This World Children’s Day, we were honoured to bring joy and support to 180 children of the Anuradhapura Viru Kekulu Preschool.
At the Chestnut Foundation, we believe every child deserves the chance to learn, dream, and grow—no matter their circumstances. Moments like these remind us how powerful small acts of kindness can be. For these young children, a new pencil, a notebook, or a set of crayons is more than just a supply—it’s a symbol of opportunity and encouragement.
On 17 August 2025, we had the privilege of conducting a school supplies distribution programme for underprivileged children studying at Wakwella Sri Sudarmarama Dhamma School in Galle. This initiative was designed to support their educational journey by ensuring that every child has access to the basic tools they need to thrive in their studies.
