The Proporta Education Foundation (PEF) was established in 2008 out of a desire to help talented Sri Lankan children from poor families to remain in education.

While schooling is officially free in Sri Lanka, things such as books, pens, paper, uniforms, as well as transport, are not free; if a family cannot cover these extra costs, it can mean that their child (or children) is unable to continue with formal schooling.

As part of the selection process, some of the Sri Lankan staff visited the districts of Monaragala and Nuwara Eliya to personally meet the families of the children and to verify the details given, to ensure that the most suitable children were selected. Public transport was used to reach these areas as the company wanted to minimise overhead costs.

100% of the contributed funds are delivered in full to the PEF charity.
