Education can create opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom. Peoples Hands Organization supports initiatives that improve educational opportunities for children and young people experiencing disadvantage or barriers to learning, with a focus on communities in Eastern Sri Lanka.

Education challenges

Barriers children actually face

Children in underserved communities may face challenges related to household income, learning resources, school infrastructure, digital access, transportation, disasters, and other social or economic factors.
