About Us – Tarana Foundation

Introduction

We are a Registered (No. GA 00211699 company by guarantee) NON-PROFIT CHARITABLE FOUNDATION run by volunteers who have come together with the common vision of uplifting the economic and social standards of the rural communities in Sri Lanka.

We partner and collaborate with groups, corporates and non governmental organizations registered in Sri Lanka and overseas to pursue our objectives.

Our Story

Our humble story began in March 2018 when 10 friends got together posing the question of how to help the rural community in Sri Lanka? The group envisioned helping School children in remote areas overcome hardships and facilitate their education.

With this common vision, our group increased to more than 40 members.

So began our first major project where 2700 school children in Anuradhapura, Bakamuna, Dehiattakandiya, Jaffna, Matugama, Padavi Siripura & Vavuniya were provided with basic school requirements.
The daunting task of raising Rupees 4.2 Million was achieved in 8 months with the tireless support of our members and generous contributions of well wishers.
