We are happy to have been recognized by respective governments in our genuine and ethical efforts. They are indeed very happy to have been accepted by the United Nations Global Compact, a UN initiative for businesses that are committed to aligning their operations and strategies with 10 universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.
At this crucial juncture, there is value in committing resources and effort in such an enterprise, and no amount of hard work could override the importance of this mission because giving hope to a new generation can be the only salvation in charting a new beginning for our country.
Since its inception in 2007, Aspirations Education Foundation (AEF) has granted 280 scholarships to deserving students from less privileged families. This covers nine provinces and 23 districts and AEF has spent already over Rs. 6 million in granting scholarships to students from Year Two to Year 13 and supporting 15 schools with infrastructure, furniture, computer education, books for libraries, ports goods and equipment with chemicals for laboratories and also financially supporting additional teaching staff to teach English and Tamil.
Promoting agriculture as an income generation activity at schools as well as the village community is another aspect of development. The idea is to raise funds within the school to meet the school requirements without relying on outside assistance.
Knowing the value of the pre-school education, Aspirations ventured into support the development of pre-schools in the country by providing basic infrastructural facilities such as pipe borne water scheme for the children, furniture and play items to the pre-schools.
When one decides to avail the services of Aspirations Education to further their educational advancement and career prospects abroad which is offered free of charge, they also automatically become part of supporting the AEF which is the social duty arm of AE to help the less privileged students in Sri Lanka in achieving their aspirations amidst financial and other obstacles, thus providing the light of hope to a life of a student like you who otherwise may be unable to realise his or her aspirations! Be a part of AEF’s innovative and social entrepreneurial process that will make a difference in all our lives. The dreams of Aspirations today, will be their reality tomorrow.
