Company Contributions

Company Contributions to Sri Lankan Orphanage Appeal - Companies can help support this campaign by contributing towards a special project. If you would like to make a company contribution, please read on.

The purpose of this website is to persuade individuals to contribute on a regular basis a small sum of money, say £5.00, which would feed a child for a whole month. Our aim is to find at least 100 individuals initially so that 100 more children can be fed on a regular basis.

As much as the helpless very young ones need to be fed, there are a large number of teenagers who do not at present have a life sustaining skill. Unless these youngsters are given the opportunity to learn such a skill, there is always the danger that they will be easy targets for future terrorist involvement.

Based on the rationale that “It is better to teach someone to fish rather than give them a fish,” there is presently a Vocational Training centre which trains youngsters in such skills. Unfortunately there aren’t enough of them. In the existing centre there are 1000 applicants for 96 places.

With a view to increasing the capacity of the existing Vocational Training centre, the Lions are approaching organisations that are prepared to contribute a regular sum of money on a monthly basis. Already two such organisations, Gemini Group and Norton Consulting have agreed to donate £100 each, every month towards this project. Our intentions are to, initially, find at least 8 other organisations who are prepared to contribute regularly.

In addition, a submission is being prepared to Lions Club International to consider a grant towards this project.
