Educate Lanka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Educate Lanka Foundation is a subsidiary of the “Wave of Hope” Foundation, an independent, non-profit student fundraising campaign established in April, 2005 (www.waveofhopes.com). Wave of Hope foundation was created for the solitary purpose of rebuilding schools and houses in Sri Lanka that were affected by the devastating Tsunami. However, after realizing the impressive success of the Wave of Hope campaign, we decided to take the rebuilding process of our nation a few steps forward with the idea of EducateLanka.
As students, we believe “Education” of the youth is the foundation of every country. After witnessing the desperate situation of our country, we consider it is our responsibility and our obligation to step up to the plate and give back to Sri Lanka what she has bestowed in all of us over so many years. Thus, we decided to create a unique path for all of the expatriates who live in different parts of the world to come together and be a helping hand to the deserving underserved children in Sri Lanka to fulfill their lifetime dream - EDUCATION.
[edit] Mission
The mission of EducateLanka is to be a helping hand to the children in Sri Lanka that are denied education mainly because of financial destitution. We intend to act as an independent entity to bring together a group of Sponsors/Donors from all over the world to support those children who desperately seek financial support to continue/start their education. EducateLanka believes this could be achieved through various types of channels, regardless of ethnicity, color or religion.
