The Government of Japan has provided a grant of US$ 83,692 (approx. Rs. 15 million) for “The Project for Improving Facilities of Center for Disabled Children in Buttala, Monaragala” through the Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP).

Ambassador of Japan Akira Sugiyama and Wickramage Nalin Vipulendra, President of the Surangani Voluntary Services signed the grant contract on 30th November 2020 at the Ambassador’s Residence in Colombo, the Embassy of Japan said.

Given that 2 percent of children aged between 5-14 years have some form of disability and are excluded from mainstream education, the Government of Japan remains steadfast to help the country achieve inclusive education through enhancements to ancillary services so that no one is left behind.
