Helping Hands to Sri Lanka - Support, Teach & Inspire ❤️

Hello and thank you so much for taking the time to read our page.

We are Fran and Georgia, and we are currently studying Primary School Teaching and Early Childhood Education. In June 2026, we’ve been given an amazing opportunity to travel to Sri Lanka to volunteer in local kindergartens, helping teach and care for young children in under-resourced communities. ✨

Background to the program ✏️

It's no secret that poverty is increasing in Sri Lanka, a third-world nation, particularly in the more rural areas. Due to overcrowding and a lack of supplies, day care centres and kindergartens are not only finding it difficult to give children the attention and education they need, but they are also struggling to continue working.

Children must regularly attend kindergarten or pre-school, as is typical all over the world, to help build the foundations for academic achievement in the future. Additionally, parents need to work as much as possible, which is especially challenging in Sri Lanka if children stay at home all day.

We now need your support to help us ensure we can give the children our care to ease some of the burden on overstretched teachers and ensure that proper care and attention can be given to all the children attending.

The program fees we pay will also help support the financial costs associated with childcare in Sri Lanka.

For two weeks, we will be assisting in classrooms, teaching basic English, leading arts and crafts, singing songs, playing games, and helping with daily routines. We will also be involved in planning fun and educational activities, supporting local teachers and contributing to a positive, nurturing environment for the children. This experience will not only help shape us as educators but also allow us to make a meaningful impact on children’s lives.

How Your Donations Will Help & Your generosity will go towards ⬇️

Essential classroom supplies: books, pens, paper, craft materials and other creative resources for the children.

Small gifts or treats: sweets, toys, and materials that will bring smiles and joy.

Sanitary products: toothbrushes, toothpaste, and body wash.

Food for the families to help them

Even the smallest contribution will make a difference—and every penny will directly support both our journey and the children we will be working with.

Thank you so much for your kindness, support, and belief in our journey. ✨
