The David Pieris Group, through its Social Welfare Committee, has donated a fully equipped
computer laboratory to Myiliddy North Kalaimagal Maha Vidyalayam in Kankasanthurai, a
school located in a recently resettled area in the Northern Province.
This initiative, fully funded by the David Pieris Group’s Social Welfare Committee, aims to
support the digital learning needs of over 130 students currently attending the school. Many of
these students come from underprivileged backgrounds and have previously had to seek better
facilities in surrounding schools due to the lack of resources in their own. The donation includes
computers, computer tables. air conditioning machines and computer chairs, along with a
complete colour wash of the lab building to create a more conducive learning environment. In
addition, the David Pieris Group has committed to funding the monthly remuneration for a
qualified IT instructor for a period of one year, ensuring continuity and quality in digital
education.
This project is part of the David Pieris Group’s broader commitment to community development,
particularly in education and technology access for rural and underserved areas. Myiliddy North
Kalaimagal Maha Vidyalayam, having been relocated to its original site after years of
displacement, now serves as a vital educational hub for the area and this computer lab is
expected to significantly uplift its learning infrastructure.
Beyond this initiative, the David Pieris Group has consistently demonstrated its dedication to
social responsibility through a wide range of efforts. The Group has donated fully equipped
houses to low-income families, supplied essential medical equipment to hospitals, provided
financial assistance to patients suffering from critical illnesses and persons with disabilities and
supported public transport improvements in remote areas. Furthermore, the Group has
launched several women empowerment programmes that provide training and support in
entrepreneurship, while also playing an active role in environmental conservation projects
across the country.
The David Pieris Group remains committed to making a lasting impact in the lives of Sri
Lankans, continuing to champion meaningful change through education, healthcare,
sustainability and inclusive community development.
