Dear Friends and Supporters,

First, we would like to thank each one of you who supported us with a donation during this year’s fund drive. We are very grateful to all of you who have helped us for many years already and to our new donors. Due to your support, the children in Myanmar and Sri Lanka have a chance for a better future through education. They show their appreciation by studying as hard as they can.
 
Myanmar
The scholarship programs for the 2026/27 school year have been finalized. Despite continuing political upheaval, poverty, displacement, and the after-effects of the earthquake many of our students in Myanmar completed the 2025/26 school year successfully and will continue to be supported. 
 
There are 2 scholarship programs for the 2026/27 school year.
In total 113 children (112 girls and 1 boy) will get a scholarship for the new school year starting in June 2026. This compares with 106 children for the 2025/26 school year and 41 in 2013/14, when we started in Myanmar.

Please join us in wishing all students success with their studies to comply with the requirements for continued scholarship support in the coming years.

(Details about the two programs in Myanmar can be found in Section ‘Scholarships’, in the article “Scholarships Myanmar 2013/14 – 2026/27”.)

Sri Lanka
The school year started in January 2026.

In total 206 children (194 girls and 12 boys) are on our 3 programs in Sri Lanka.

(Details about the three programs in Sri Lanka can be found in Section ‘Scholarships’, in the article “Scholarships Sri Lanka 2006 – 2026”.)

Combined, in the second half of this year,

319 students (306 girls and 13 boys)

will receive scholarship support.

Exciting is that to date 312 students (265 in Sri Lanka and 47* in Myanmar) have graduated from High School, completing their education. (*This includes 19 students who completed their high school in Myanmar and moved to India for grades 12+13.)

Without your strong support and compassion for the children it would not have been possible to provide scholarships in Sri Lanka since 2006 and in Myanmar since 2013/14.

All High School Graduates, and current students join us in expressing our sincere gratitude for your vital help.

Thank you.

Your Trustees of IFESCSF
