Education Financial Assistance for Children of Low-Income Lottery Sellers
The President’s Fund has focused attention on providing educational financial assistance to children of low-income lottery sellers.
Accordingly, consideration has been given to introducing a monthly educational allowance to support the schooling of children from low-income lottery vendor families, in order to assist their education-related needs.
This matter was discussed during a meeting held on the 20th at the Presidential Secretariat, attended by Roshan Gamage, Secretary of the President’s Fund and Senior Additional Secretary to the President, along with officials from the National Lotteries Board and the Development Lotteries Board.
The President’s Fund currently provides financial assistance to low-income groups across various sectors, along with several scholarship and support programs for schoolchildren. As an extension of these initiatives, the governing board of the President’s Fund has approved the provision of educational financial assistance for children of low-income lottery sellers.
