Corporate Social Responsibility – Oxford College of Business Sri Lanka

PROMISE

All children have the right to education. Education is essential because children are our future. As one of the pioneer higher education providers in Sri Lanka, we must ensure that our behaviour and actions are responsible towards our future generations and towards our stakeholders, society and the environment. We are committed to continue earning the trust our stakeholders place in us, and we are always inspired by supporting under privileged children and their education.

PURPOSE

The prerogative is based on an insight that the lack of electricity and facilities in these areas forces under privileged children to either study under unbearably harsh conditions or simply give up altogether. The sole purpose is to give them the benefit of light to study and enrich their lives, by providing solar-powered lighting to homes.
