CUP recently extended support to 100 children affected by the Ditwa tragedy, students of Sri Sumedharamaya Sunday School, Kotuvila, Wellampitiya, who suffered the loss and damage of essential educational materials. Despite these challenges, the students demonstrated remarkable resilience and a strong commitment to continuing their education and moral development. In response, the CUP team, together with committed philanthropists, provided essential educational supplies to support the children’s ongoing learning and overall well-being.
