Scholarships - Ranaviru Fund

We worked with the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) Seva Vanitha Unit to provide over 200 scholarships to the children of SLAF personnel who laid their lives for the country's freedom. There are no further children to sponsor in this category. Therefore, we request you to sponsor children from the other 2 categories (SL Navy and Ranaviru Seva Authority scholarship programs).

Following list contains the details of children of Sri Lanka Navy personnel who have been killed in action (KIA), missing in action (MIA) or disabled in action (DIA) while defending the nation. (In the case of disabled personnel the percentage of disability is indicated within brackets). As of 01-11-2011, over 200 children have found sponsorships under this scheme and over 200 are awaiting sponsorships.

Recommended monthly amount is Rs.1500 (~US$ 15) or more.

Recommended period of scholarship is 4 years. You have the flexibility to decide on a longer or shorter duration based on individual needs.

Donate directly into the child’s/guardian's account. (This is the only donation option under this scheme)
- If you wish to make periodical donations (6 monthly, annually, bi-annually, lump-sum/one time) please consider assiting a child through the Ranaviru Seva Authority Scholarship Program or helping a Ranaviru Child with Medical Needs.

We will provide you with the contact details of the child and the family upon submission of the application. If you wish, you may contact the family and verify the details before starting contributions.

Special note to Expatriates:

If you are an expatriate it might be ‘too expensive’ to send money every month to Sri Lanka due to high money transfer fees. In such a case it is prudent to send a sufficient sum of money to Sri Lanka and open a local bank account for this purpose. For example Sampath bank gives internet access to their accounts. Thus, if you open a Sampath Bank account you could link the child's account with it and transfer the funds every month over the internet. Other local banks also provide internet access.
