Sinthanai Foundation is a free education center, supported by Manitha Neyam Trust, in the town of Kotagala, amidst a tea plantation.  The education center provides post-secondary education and training at no cost to local students; to empower them to learn the skills they need to enter the workforce.

We recently visited the Sinthanai Foundation, meeting with the Founder/Director, Ramesh, and his staff to learn more about how students and the programs were progressing.  Programs offered to students include language training in English and  Sinhala, Computer Education, Business Skills for the modern workforce, and more.  After completing their selected programs, they may choose to continue their higher education, or to enter the workforce of Sri Lanka. 

Whichever path they may choose, Sinthanai Foundation equips them with the necessary skills and knowledge to be competitive and successful in the modern world.

We were thrilled to see how well the students were going through this education center, and the Sinthanai staff were pleased to share success stories of their students.  We are proud to support their mission and are grateful to our donors for sharing our passion for making education equitable and accessible for everyone.
