Sunshine Foundation for Good strengthens its commitment to education with 2026 school support initiative

Sunshine Foundation for Good (SFG), the dedicated corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm of Sunshine Holdings PLC, continued its long-standing commitment to education by distributing stationery gift vouchers to school children. This year’s initiative supported about 750 deserving children in schools in Kelaniya, Kadawatha, Rathmalana, Modara and Mattakkuliya, areas close to Sunshine Holdings’ operational units.

Under this impactful program, vouchers were distributed to school children from Grade 1 to Grade 11, with both primary and secondary schools benefitting from the initiative. These children were provided with stationery vouchers to support their educational purchases, keeping with Group’s vision and mission of bringing good things to life and nation building. 

This initiative is part of the education vertical of the Sunshine Foundation for Good, which focuses on empowering communities by fostering education and addressing critical gaps in access to learning resources. Emphasizing the foundation’s commitment to community welfare, the program prioritizes schools near Sunshine Holdings’ business operations to reinforce the organization’s responsibility toward its immediate communities.

Sunshine Holdings’ Group CEO Shyam Sathasivam said, “Supporting children in our neighbouring communities is an investment in Sri Lanka’s future. Through this initiative, we aim to ease the barriers to learning and help every child begin the school year with confidence and opportunity, while contributing to the long-term effort of building a stronger and better Sri Lanka.”
