Appeal for Support – FMF Free Meal Fund Initiative
Dear Colleagues,
As we are all aware, a significant number of our bright and talented students face serious financial hardship while pursuing their degrees. Living expenses in Colombo — especially boarding, transport, and meals — have become extremely burdensome for many, particularly those from rural or low-income families. It is not uncommon to see students sharing a single Rs. 150 rice packet among two or three people in the canteen.
In response, the Faculty has established the FMF Free Meal Fund to provide free meals to deserving students in genuine need.
We kindly request your support in two ways:
-
Personal Contribution
Any amount you can afford will make a meaningful difference. Even Rs. 1,000 can help feed a student for several days.
Account Details:
Account Name: Welfare Association for Students
Account No: 1001016601
Bank: Commercial Bank – Reid Avenue Branch
Please forward a copy of the deposit receipt to coordinator@cgum.cmb.ac.lk so Dean/ FMF UOC can issue an official acknowledgement letter.
-
Sharing with Your Network
Many of you have strong professional and personal networks — alumni, former students, family, friends, and industry contacts. We humbly request you to share this appeal within your circles. One generous contribution from your network could support an entire semester for a student in need.
Your support — whether financial or through spreading the word — will directly help ensure that no FMF student has to choose between hunger and their education.
Together, we can make sure every student has the strength to attend lectures, complete assignments, and build their future.
Thank you in advance for your kindness and solidarity
