A small primary school in the Galle district has received a new classroom, its first new building in 89 years, with the support of Ceylinco Life.
The company donated Rs 1.6 million towards the material costs to construct a classroom for the Bogaha Kanishta Vidyalaya in Elpitiya, a school that has not seen any building construction since 1935.
Coincidentally, this was the 88th classroom building built by Ceylinco Life under a long-running corporate social responsibility initiative that has benefitted schools across Sri Lanka. The new building will be used by 40 students of Grade 3, who had previously had their classes outdoors or in the dilapidated school hall due to the non-availability of a building. The school has a student population of 195.
Every classroom built by Ceylinco Life over the years continues to be monitored and maintained by the Company to ensure it serves many generations of students.
Commencing with a classroom built for the Tissa Primary School in Lunugamvehera in 2004, Ceylinco Life’s schools infrastructure project has traversed the length and breadth of Sri Lanka.
