Priyangi, mother of two
We find it immensely difficult to keep our daughter in school. She's been forced to use just one book and pencil for all her subjects.
Sugath Bandara, school principal
“These difficult times are forcing children to give up on their education so as to afford meals. Light a Future providing these kids with learning tools is vital.”

Saroja Nilmini, primary school teacher
“It is distressing to see children in my class take turns writing notes because they are forced to share one pencil.”
