Back-To-School-2026: Expanding Hope in Ampara

Back-To-School 2026: Expanding Hope in Ampara 

In communities where access to basic educational resources remains a challenge, even small acts of support can create lasting change. In Lahugala, Ampara, 120 students from Paranagovipola Primary School began their school year with a renewed sense of confidence, thanks to the Back-To-School 2026 initiative.

Many of these students come from financially vulnerable families, where providing essential items such as books and stationery can place a significant strain on household resources. Recognizing this need, the initiative stepped in to ensure that these children could walk into their classrooms prepared, equipped, and ready to learn—without the burden of scarcity holding them back.

This impactful effort was made possible through the generosity and commitment of Amali Wijethunga, whose fundraiser via Chase Bank brought together support from those who believe in the power of education. Each contribution, no matter the size, played a role in shaping a brighter start for these young learners.

Equally important was the dedication of the onsite volunteer team, led by Maheah, who worked diligently to organize and distribute the supplies. Their efforts ensured that every child received what they needed, turning a vision of support into a meaningful, well-executed reality.

Every book handed out represents more than just a learning tool—it symbolizes opportunity, growth, and the promise of a better future. When children are given the resources they need, they are empowered to dream bigger and achieve more.

As this initiative continues to expand, the message remains clear: education has the power to transform lives, and collective action makes that transformation possible. There are still many children who need support, and every contribution helps extend this impact further.
