Introduction


Dear Friend of Sri Lanka,

On the aftermath of the tsunami disaster, that changed the lives and the face of our Island, we at Cargills (Ceylon) Limited have conceptualized a long term sustainable project known as ‘The ONE Trust’. The mission of The ONE Trust is ‘to work as ONE united Sri Lanka to make a significant contribution to the National Re-building effort through sustainable economic development. The project is committed to provide necessary educational facilities and guidance to the children of Sri Lanka.

The One Trust will be sustained through the help and support of partners, who will also be committed to the above cause. The project is overseen by a Board of Trustees and audited by independent auditors, while the management of the project will be by a team of individual professionals led by Cargills.

On long term ‘The ONE Trust’ is dedicated to instill better value systems and positive thinking via career guidance projects, counseling and providing employment opportunities through job fairs. Hence, The ONE Trust will only be involved in the software development and will not get involved with the actual construction of the building etc. Specifically, the ONE Trust will be involved in contributing to the re-building of the school in terms of providing furniture, lab, library and other facilities, books, stationary, computers, educational equipment etc.

The ONE Trust will work on the principle of matching a school in an unaffected area with a school in the effected areas. The partner schools will help raise funds as well as help in management of the projects.

You may be a corporation an individual or a youth, yet we welcome you to join us.

Our gratitude to our present partners in joining our ONE cause.

Project Details
Focus Area – Education
Implementation

The ONE Trust is committed to help in the re-building efforts in the area of education. We believe ‘children’ is our future and presently children are more volatile to dangers of the society than ever before.

The necessary educational facilities and guidance to the children of Sri Lanka through will be provided with the intention of instilling better values and positive thinking about the future in the minds of the children. The ONE Trust will develop Community-based psychosocial support, including activities, which allow children to express themselves and come to terms with their own experience.

 

 

Selection of Schools

Will select areas in 1-3 districts where the need is most. Likely districts: Galle, Hambantota, Mullativu and Ampara.

At least 10 schools in total with an estimate spend of Rs.4-5 million per school with the total amounting to Rs 50 million. (no. can be increased depending on the Cause).

 

Partnering of Schools

The educational project will be managed by a partnership between an affected school and a partnering school in an unaffected area. These partnering schools will follow the concept of “ADOPTING” a school in the affected areas.

 

Role of ONE Trust

The ONE Trust will identify schools that need assistance in the affected areas and form partnerships with schools in the unaffected areas to 'adopt' the affected school. The ONE Trust will provide furniture, lab facilities, teacher training, stationary, books, other educational equipment and the funding necessary in part or in full for same.

Further to this, the project will organize morale building sessions for the children and undertake cost of volunteers.


Role of the Partnering Schools

The partner school will do day-to-day management of the project and facilitate all funds in terms of building Fixed Assets etc., Their contribution will also come in liaising with counselors, teachers, volunteers & syllabi and text books et., The partner school will also help immediately in setting up temporary shelters if needed for the children of these affected schools so that they are properly provided for until such time that the permanent new buildings are constructed.
