Ranaviru Seva Authority Scholarship Program 2024/2025
March, 2024: Ranaviru Fund has relaunched its scholarship program in 2022 upon request for assistance from the Ranaviru Seva Authority (RVSA) aiming to support the educational needs of the children of Sri Lankan service personnel. During the last round of scholarship program, we were able to sponsor 15 deserving children of service personnel members who are either deceased or wounded due to reasons outwith operational activities. This is in addition to over 800 children we sponsored during the period 2005-2012.
With the immense success during the relaunched Ranaviru Fund scholarship program we are now aiming to sponsor a total of 40 children to support their education as part of the 2024/2025 program. With support from our valued donors, most who are continuing their sponsorships from the previous years we were able to secure the sponsorships as indicated in the table below.
Our aim is to provide a monthly scholarship of Rs. 5,000.00 to each beneficiary, which is equivalent to annual sponsorship of Rs. 60,000.00 (approximately GBP 160 / USD 200 / EUR 185 / AUD 305). The annual sponsorship will be transferred to the RVSA who will then disburse monthly funds to the corresponding child / carer each month for the next 12 month period.
Sponsors are welcome to provide full or part sponsorships for the next program year 2024/2025.
We would like to invite our valued donors and well wishers to support our fundraising campaign to fulfil the 40 scholarships. We are able to provide the full details of the child including the contact details of their carer to get in touch as required by the sponsors. Should you wish to find out more details, please get in touch with us via email: info (at) ranavirufund.org informing the corresponding 'Ref No' of the child/children from the table below.

*** SRI LANKA URGENT MEDICAL APPEAL ***
Dear Friends, Friends of Sri Lanka (then Ceylon),
As you may know Sri Lanka is going through a very difficult time due to its financial instability. Lack of foreign reserves in the country has caused a severe knock on effect in essential public services such as healthcare and transport. Sri Lankan healthcare system vastly depends on drugs, medicines and medical equipment that are imported from foreign suppliers. These imports have been severely low due to the lack of foreign reserves in the country.
We have reached out to a the relevant authorities of a few leading health boards/hospitals to offer our support and the first request for urgent medical support has been received from the Lady Ridgeway Hospital (LRH) for Children, which is the largest Paediatric hospital in Sri Lanka.
On behalf of Ranaviru Fund and Sri Lankan Association in Scotland, attached the request letter specifically issued to Ranaviru Fund / SLAS | Sri Lankan Association in Scotland. We will be fundraising through Ranaviru Fund, Scottish Registered Charity (OSCR Reg No SC041479) to support this urgent medical need of LRH.
As a fundamental practice and policy, Ranaviru Fund charity provides full financial accounts including the detailed expenses for all charitable projects it delivers.
Donations can be made via PayPal Giving Fund following the link below. UK donors, please consider adding Gift Aid to your donations at no extra cost to you.

Thank you for your support.
