How NSBM contributes
NSBM contributes to No Poverty by expanding access to higher education while supporting communities and individuals facing economic disadvantage. In 2021, NSBM signed an agreement with the Ministry of Education for an Interest-Free Student Loan Scheme, with the initiative expected to provide nearly 1,000 higher-education opportunities annually to aspiring students. NSBM students also undertake community projects that directly support low-income and underprivileged communities. For example, the Haritha Sisu Saviya Educational Empowerment Project at Dampe Primary School provided ICT equipment, stationery, printing supplies and sanitation items, while CREST 2026 included student-led projects addressing poverty and vulnerable communities.
School Stationery Donation
A student-led initiative launched under the guidance of NSBM Green University to support underprivileged communities and contribute to the No Poverty goal.
As its first effort, the club provided stationery bundles to a group of deserving students at the Samurdhi Division of the Divisional Secretariat Office in Homagama, empowering them in their educational journey. The activity was conducted in collaboration with local community leaders and showcased the commitment of undergraduates to community development and poverty alleviation.
