Hello Everyone,

As you know, this year, we hosted a spectacular, cultural and entertaining musical fundraising event “Isai Mela 2025” on 26th April 2025 with a primary aim to raise funds to provide SmartBoards for upcountry schools in Sri Lanka.

We would like to provide you with an update on the outcome of the “Isai Mela 2025” event and how well it contributed to our aim of providing SmartBoards for upcountry schools in Sri Lanka.

We are overjoyed to share the outcome of our recent fundraising event for the Malayaga Makkal SmartBoard Project. Thanks to your kindness and generosity, the event was a great success — and we are now able to donate 15 SmartBoards to 15 schools across the upcountry regions of Sri Lanka.

This month, members of the Executive Committee of Malayaga Makkal Ondrium UK will be travelling to Sri Lanka to personally hand over the SmartBoards. The selected schools span:

✅ Nuwara Eliya District
✅ Hatton District
✅ Kandy & Matale Districts

This initiative will empower hundreds of children with access to digital learning and modern teaching tools — a step towards bridging the educational gap in these communities.

From all of us at Malayaga Makkal Ondrium UK: thank you for your generous donations, continued encouragement, and unwavering support. 💙 Together, we are making education accessible, impactful, digital and transformative.

Once again, a heartfelt thank you to every donor, supporter, and well-wisher.
