Who was there
114 learners in Nuwara Eliya and five schools in Kantale, as recorded

Empowerment Inside School reached Nuwara Eliya, where 114 learners took part in robotics in April and May 2026, and Kantale, across five schools.

With Batticaloa and Hatton in 2025, the programme now runs in three districts: Batticaloa and Trincomalee in the East, and Nuwara Eliya, where the Hatton hub works, in the central hill country. We run it inside government schools, with written approval from the zonal education office.

Our work in Nuwara Eliya began before the programme: a mobile journalism workshop ran there with Grow Education learners in October 2023.

The effects of the programme are expected to show two to five years later.
