Our Trustees, Dr Vip Thiagarasah, Viji and Senny Viyakesparan and their families visited the Home in July together with Vip and Viji’s mother, Mrs Kamala Thiagarasah. The families held a moving commemorative service at the Home with tha staff and girls to celebrate the anniversary of the passing of their father, Mr Thiagarasah. The families also had a wonderful time getting to know the girls and of the various activities that the Home offers. It was a truly rewarding trip for all, involving teaching, dancing, singing and playing with the girls. Vip has discussed future requirements for the Home and we will ensure we do our best to accommodate their needs.

March 2025
As a result of the generosity of our donors, we have been able to sponsor the university fees in the past few years of four of the young ladies who had previously been orphans in the Amman Girls Home. It was an incredible achievement of the young girls to gain university places and we were delighted to be able to sponsor them. The Principal of the Home advised us in March that the fund we had provided for these fees had run out and asked if we could continue to support the fees of three of the girls whose studies were ongoing. One of the girls had completed her studies. We were delighted to do so.

As in previous years, HELP was delighted to provide funds for new clothes and school equipment at the start of the year for all of the girls in the Amman Girls Home.

In November 2024, the Ampara area was hit by a disastrous flood which partially destroyed 70 houses and ruined crops. We were asked to provide emergency food and equipment for those affected and were very happy to do so.
February 2024
The Girls home is struggling to meet its running costs due to high inflation. We have therefore increased our monthly bursary to the Home by SLR 50,000 to SLR 200,00- to ease the financial pressures on the Home. We also provided funding to meet the annual educational fees of four of the young ladies from the Home who are undertaking their university studies.
