Donate a Meal
At meal times we focus on sustenance and nutrition as well as giving all at the home a chance to sit together as a family. The girls are always delighted to be a part of a meal in remembrance of a donor’s special day. There is an option to donate a meal or donate money towards a set menu of your choice to be cooked in-house.
Breakfast, lunch, tea-time and dinner menus – click to view menus.
If you would like to visit Shilpa with a meal donation or other contribution, you may contact a Shilpa matron to discuss the particulars on 011 2369533.

Additionally, we organize vocational training programs for interests outside the school curriculum such as dressmaking and computing. As a sponsor, it is possible to choose from the following options.
Monthly cost per subject per child LKR 12,000
Annual cost per subject per child LKR 144,000
