Sunshine Holdings joins hands with ‘Light a Future’ to uphold education of deserving Sri Lankan children

Colombo, Sri Lanka, February 2023: To support and inspire the future generation of Sri Lanka amidst the ongoing economic crisis, Diversified Sri Lankan conglomerate Sunshine Holdings recently partnered with ‘Light a Future’, an initiative by Sarvodaya with the partnership of Atlas, Sri Lanka’s leading learning brand. The official signing of the partnership took place recently, followed by Sunshine Holding’s first donation to Modara Sri Medhananda Vidyalaya.

In collaboration with the Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement, Sri Lanka’s longest standing charitable organization, ‘Light a Future’ by Atlas aims to secure the futures of Sri Lankan children in face of unprecedented economic challenges that has left parents facing severe financial struggles in supporting their children’s education. Through numerous donations, the timely initiative will provide essential learning tools to 100,000 children who are most in danger of dropping out of school, giving them the gift of education in the hope of securing theirs and the country’s future.

Sunshine Holdings, through its continued support of Sri Lanka’s nation-building focus, is committed to bringing good things to the lives of our children and is now a part of a collaboration that ensures schoolchildren across deserving communities have the necessary materials to participate in their education fully, thus paving the path for future leaders to reach their true potential. The partnership is also a testament to the significant work done by Sunshine across Sri Lanka to uplift students through ‘Sunshine Foundation for Good’, the corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm of the Group.
