We want to improve education for children in South Asia

We are a group of donors who are committed to providing help that improves and enhances education for the disadvantaged. We believe that education is the most valuable donation that can be given and provides an essential foundation for improving lives. Over the last twenty years we have been helping individuals achieve their goals in education through a variety of means best suited to their situations.

Our primary support is aimed at students from the upcountry region of Sri Lanka who are living below the poverty line. Most of these students’ families earn a living through daily labour and are unable to obtain a basic education due to financial or resource limits.

Often times we focus on providing a library that helps students not only become better proficient at their mother tongue but also at English in order to help open the door to international collaboration. This is achieved through both the library but also the assistance of volunteers and donors.

We are a group of like-minded volunteers

The Give Forward has volunteers on the ground in South Asia who help us find schools that could use assistance. They also ensure that any projects undertaken are completed appropriately and that donor money is not wasted.

We also have donors in many countries around the world including Canada, the United States and Australia. Without their generous support, we could not fund our projects.
