School Supplies for Eastern Children's Homes

LetUsHelpNow provided school supplies to 313 children in twelve  Eastern province children's homes. LetUsHelpNow held an online discussion with Eastern care homes on Nov 26, 2022, to understand their current needs.  Several of the homes requested school supplies such as shoes, bags, and notebooks. Homes noted that the price of these items has increased significantly over the past few months.

The following twelve care homes have requested education supplies from the Eastern province. 

* Good Shepherd Children Home, Valaichenai - Batticaloa - 22 students
* Four square children's home - Trincomalee - 6 students
* Sri Shanmuga Girls Home - Trincomalee - 14 students

The exact package for each student may vary from home to home and by individual needs.  We obtained a sample price list.  Based on the price list, we estimate that each student will need a minimum LKR 5,000 to cover their school supplies.
