Light of Hope Charity Initiative
The Light of Hope charity initiative aims to support underprivileged children in Sri Lanka by providing essential food, clothing, and educational supplies. This project is dedicated to improving the lives of children living in poverty by ensuring their basic needs are met and creating opportunities for their future development. Through the generous contributions of sponsors, we aim to make a meaningful and sustainable impact on these children’s well-being.
Bridging the Gap
Sri Lanka has made significant progress in economic and social development; however, poverty remains a major challenge, particularly for children. According to the World Bank, around 11.3% of Sri Lanka’s population lives below the national poverty line. The situation is worsened by economic instability, inflation, and recent crises that have led to increased unemployment and reduced access to essential goods and services.
Child poverty statistics indicate that many children suffer from malnutrition, lack of access to quality education, and inadequate living conditions. Reports show that over 40% of school children are at risk of dropping out due to financial hardships. The Light of Hope initiative seeks to bridge this gap by providing direct assistance to those in need.
