Snehadhana Foundation Launches School Meal Support Project

With a strong sense of purpose, Aberdeen Holdings’ Snehadhana Foundation, together with its agribusiness group member Tropikal Life International, continues to drive sustainable community solutions through the School Meal Support Project, the latest of which was launched at Ng/Bandaranayaka Vidyalaya.

The initiative, inaugurated on October 1, 2025, symbolically on World Children’s Day, provides daily meals for over 100 schoolchildren. Beyond supplying food, the project brings together a structured system, where the Snehadhana Foundation and Tropikal Life fund, coordinate and monitor every aspect, from sourcing weekly groceries to ensuring safe storage, nutrition, and consistent meal preparation.

“Not a privilege but a necessity that shapes a child’s ability to learn and succeed.”

The School Meal Support Project builds on the success of its first phase at Heiyanthuduwa Mahinda Vidyalaya, initiated in January 2023, which has been operating successfully for more than two years. Each school week, an average of 400 meals are provided to students, an effort made possible through the unwavering collaboration between the Snehadhana Foundation, Tropikal Life, school staff and parents.
