In a demonstration of our ongoing commitment to supporting education in underserved communities, the Chestnut Foundation conducted a charitable event in July 2023 that provided essential stationary products to students in the rural Nochchiyagama area of Sri Lanka.
The event was aimed to alleviate some of the challenges faced by students in this rural village as they prepared for the new academic year. The Chestnut Foundation recognised the significance of proper educational tools in facilitating effective learning experiences and sought to ensure that these students had access to the necessary stationary products for their schooling.
Often overlooked, rural areas like Nochchiyagama can face challenges in accessing quality education and essential resources. Each stationary kit donated to the students included items essential for a productive learning environment, such as notebooks, pens, pencils, erasers, and other supplies that contribute to a well-rounded education.
The event underscores the Foundation’s belief in the transformative power of education. Proper stationary products might seem trivial, but they play a vital role in creating an optimal learning environment. The Chestnut Foundation aims to contribute to the holistic growth of students in underserved areas by providing the tools necessary for them to excel academically.
