MicroScholarships is a project of Horizon Lanka that aims to help deserving students in their education. Many capable students in rural Sri Lanka are forced to interrupt their schooling because of financial difficulties. This robs them of the pleasures of childhood and prevents them from growing up to be productive citizens. Children at Mahavilachchiya, Anuradhapura are no exception.

MicroScholarships project ensures that every child in the scheme gets a quality education and a happy childhood. Under the programme, a volunteer offers the child a small amount of money every month. The child uses the money mainly on educational needs
