Education for a better future
School essentials for children in Sri Lanka
In February, we participated in the Huishoudbeurs with our delicious Tea of Life teas. Visitors had the chance to taste, hear the story behind our tea, and contribute to a meaningful cause. Thanks to the proceeds from the tea boxes sold at the fair, we were able to provide students and staff at a local school in Gampola, Sri Lanka with packages full of school essentials.
What was inside the school essentials packages?
For many children in Sri Lanka, access to basic educational materials is not a given. That’s exactly why these donations make a real difference: they offer opportunity, inspiration, and hope for a better future.
The school essentials packages for the children in Sri Lanka included:
-
Books
-
Pens and pencils
-
Notebooks
-
Other educational materials
Why education makes the difference
Education is one of the most powerful tools to break the cycle of poverty. Children with access to quality education gain not only knowledge, but also confidence, structure, and the opportunity to pursue their dreams.
In areas like Gampola, Sri Lanka, something as simple as a notebook or a pen can mean the difference between being able to participate in class or being left behind. Without basic school supplies, children fall behind, lose motivation, or even drop out of school altogether.
By investing in education, we help create:
-
Equal opportunities for every child
-
Stronger local communities
-
A generation that grows up self-reliant and resilient
Structural Impact through Tea of Life
Our commitment doesn’t stop at a single project. For every kilo of Tea of Life tea sold, we invest €0.25 directly into initiatives that benefit tea-growing communities and local small farmers in countries like Sri Lanka.
This support contributes to improved living conditions, access to education, healthcare, and sustainable farming practices. In addition, our private label partners also make a structural contribution to this mission allowing us to create a broader and lasting impact together.
Better Tea, Better Life.
