In June 2024, the Chestnut Foundation embarked on a heartwarming project at Pubudu Preschool in Thuruwila, Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. This initiative was part of their ongoing mission to support education in underprivileged regions. The foundation’s team visited the preschool with a clear goal: to provide essential school equipment, school bags, and nutritious lunches to the children. These resources are often taken for granted but are scarce in many parts of the world.
The distribution of school bags was met with smiles and excitement from the children. Each bag was filled with educational materials such as books, pencils, and other learning tools necessary for their studies. The foundation believes that having personal school supplies can significantly boost a child’s confidence and enthusiasm for learning. Chestnut Foundation provided healthy lunches for the students, ensuring they have the energy to focus and excel in their studies.
This project not only supplied immediate needs but also aimed to inspire a ripple effect within the community. By equipping children with the tools and nutrition they need, the foundation hopes to foster an environment where education can thrive and lead to greater opportunities.
The Chestnut Foundation’s dedication to improving education globally is evident in their consistent efforts and impactful projects like this one. They continue to invite individuals and organisations to join them in making a difference in the lives of children around the world.
