Education
Educating a child is the first and the most prominent step towards breaking the cycle of poverty. Education closes the gap in social inequality.
Educating a child provides stability to their life and to the future world. Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”.

Lowering School Dropout Rates
At CAL pre-schools we provide education to those that cannot afford to attend a pre-school with quality education. Our teachers focus on ensuring that the children at our preschools are equipped with the knowledge they need to perform at the same level as the children that are more fortunate. We also provide a holistic educational experience by giving them the chance to experience different cultures, religions and communities different from their own.
At our centres, for children between the ages of 6- 18 we provide knowledge on subjects such as maths, science, English, Sinhala and IT. Our trained teachers create personal plans for every child to cater their special needs. This helps to ensure that the children we work with will continue in their education up to O/L and pass with good results and have the opportunity to pursue their A/Ls or attend vocational training thereafter ensuring that no child is left behind.
Supply of School Equipment
School equipment is an essential material to assist study activity. We ensure that the necessary material for the child, such as uniforms, books, shoes, bags, stationary, water bottle, and sanitary items for girls, are provided to make sure they go to school the next year.
Providing Counselling, Therapy and Rehabilitation
Children from different parts of Sri Lanka have faced different forms of problems. We, at Child Action Lanka (CAL), identify individual issues children may be facing and provide counselling , therapy and rehabilitation according to their need, as it is necessary to help the child understand his/her problem and to learn how to cope with it.
With the support of qualified counsellors or psychologists we work to ensure that correct intervention is used to help those in need. At CAL, we also provide occupational and speech therapy.
Scholarships
At CAL we provide scholarships to children that excel at their studies and need financial help to ensure that they have the quality education they need to pursue their educational aspirations.
Help her stay in school
Many children from low income families, dropout of school, in other words, they aren’t able to afford the process of education. It can be either transport, school supplies, uniforms and school expenses or all of it.
At CAL, our aim is to provide children with equal opportunity and education
Technology
One lesson that Covid-19 has taught us is the importance of access to the internet and knowledge of IT. At our centres we take every step that we can to stimulate the minds of these amazing children with knowledge and understanding in this area. We also try to keep up with the changing technologies because today technology is everything.
