More than
a school bag.
Ten years of putting opportunity within reach for children across rural Sri Lanka.
Our journey
A simple idea that travelled.
In 2016, Charity Hearts began in Pamunugama with a belief that every child should have the essentials to participate fully in education. From there, the work reached rural communities across the island.

The 10th anniversary project
200 children.
One more step forward.
As we mark 10 years of Charity Hearts, we want this milestone to be about looking ahead. This year, our project takes us to Bibile in the Monaragala District — a less-developed area where most families make their living farming the land. We aim to support upwards of 200 children from less fortunate families there.
Each child will receive a complete school package worth LKR 13,800 — so they can begin the 2027 school year with confidence and dignity. Our goal is to raise LKR 3 million and complete the project before the second week of January 2027.
Ten years of giving.
A new generation to support.

200 children. One farming community. LKR 3 million. One shared belief that every child deserves the opportunity to learn.
Iskole — "school" in Sinhala. The heart of every package we prepare.
One less barrier.
One more child ready to begin the school year.
What's included
The package.
Every Charity Hearts package is carefully tailored to the child's gender and grade, so what they receive is exactly what they need.
More than a collection of school supplies, each package is designed to give a child the essentials to start the school year prepared, confident and ready to learn.
Project highlight — Ampara, 2025
More than a school pack.
A stronger start.
In March 2025, Charity Hearts reached 101 children across Ampara, Iginiyagala and Higurana — an investment of LKR 1.25 million, with each student receiving a package worth Rs. 12,000 covering books, a school bag and shoes.
For many families, these are everyday costs that are hard to carry. Removing them means parents can focus on supporting their children — and children can walk into school feeling prepared, not behind.
The 101 students came from Buddhist, Muslim, Christian and Catholic communities, supported together with local religious and community leaders.
