At Laptop.lk, we believe that every child in Sri Lanka deserves access to technology and the opportunity to build a brighter future, regardless of where they live or the resources their school currently has. That belief is the foundation of our Digital Wings initiative, and it came to life once again with the opening of a fully equipped computer laboratory at Akkaraipattu Muslim Government School. This latest handover is more than a donation. It is a complete, 100 percent Laptop.lk funded IT facility designed to give students genuine, lasting access to modern digital learning tools, the kind of access that can shape their education, their skills, and ultimately their futures. For a school community in Akkaraipattu, this new laboratory represents a significant milestone, one that brings a level of digital infrastructure previously out of reach for many students in the area. The Digital Divide in Sri Lankan Education Sri Lanka has one of the strongest education systems in the region, built on a long tradition of valuing learning and literacy. Yet access to modern technology within that system has never been evenly distributed. Schools in major urban centers often have far greater access to computers, internet connectivity, and digital teaching tools than schools in smaller towns and rural districts. For students in these underserved areas, the absence of a functioning computer lab can mean falling behind in digital literacy at a critical stage of their education, a gap that can follow them well beyond their school years and into higher education or the workforce. This is the exact gap that Digital Wings was created to address. Rather than treating digital access as a privilege reserved for well-resourced schools, Laptop.lk set out to bring complete, professional-grade IT facilities to schools that need them most, starting with a simple but powerful idea: give students the same quality of equipment and learning environment that any student, anywhere in the country, deserves to have. A Fully Funded Commitment to Education Digital Wings was created to close the digital divide that still affects many schools across Sri Lanka, particularly those in provincial and underserved communities. Rather than offering partial support or recycled equipment, Laptop.lk takes full ownership of these projects from start to finish. The laboratory at Akkaraipattu Muslim Government School reflects that same standard: every device, every desk, and every piece of technology in the room was funded entirely by Laptop.lk, with no cost passed on to the school or its students. This full funding model is central to how Digital Wings operates. It ensures that schools receive not just a few machines to get by, but a complete, professional-grade computer lab capable of supporting an entire class of students learning together at the same time, on equipment that is new, reliable, and built to last for years of daily classroom use. What the New IT Facility Includes The laboratory at Akkaraipattu Muslim Government School has been outfitted with brand-new, high-quality equipment chosen specifically to support a modern digital classroom. The new facility includes twenty-one brand new Intel Core i5 desktop computers, giving students reliable, capable machines for coursework, research, and digital skill-building. These are not entry-level or refurbished machines. They are current-generation computers capable of handling modern educational software, internet-based research, and the kinds of digital tasks students will increasingly be expected to perform throughout their academic careers. Each workstation is paired with a twenty-two inch HD LED monitor, ensuring clear, comfortable viewing for every student in the room, reducing eye strain during long lessons and making group-based screen work far easier to follow. To keep the lab running smoothly even during power fluctuations, which remain a real concern for many schools, especially those outside major cities, twenty-one UPS units were installed alongside the computers, protecting both the equipment and the students' work from unexpected outages. The lab is also fully furnished, with complete computer tables and chairs provided for every single workstation, so that from day one, students are learning in a properly equipped, professional environment rather than a makeshift setup improvised from whatever furniture happened to be available. Every detail, from ergonomics to layout, was considered so that the space functions as a genuine, purpose-built computer lab rather than a repurposed classroom. At the front of the classroom, a TechnoView seventy-five inch Interactive Smart Board gives teachers the ability to run dynamic, screen-based lessons for the entire class at once, transforming traditional teaching into an interactive, engaging experience. With this technology, teachers can display multimedia content, run interactive exercises, and guide the class through digital lessons in a way that a traditional whiteboard simply cannot support. Together, these elements do not just add computers to a room. They create a genuine digital learning environment built to last, one that positions the school to deliver modern, technology-integrated education for years to come. More Than Equipment, An Investment in Dreams Every computer, every desk, and every piece of equipment installed at Akkaraipattu Muslim Government School represents something bigger than hardware. It represents an investment in the dreams of young Sri Lankans who will walk into that lab and, for many of them, get their first real hands-on experience with modern technology. For some students, this may be the first time they have ever used a proper desktop computer outside of a phone or a borrowed device, making the impact of this lab all the more significant. By providing access to reliable digital learning tools, Laptop.lk hopes to inspire creativity, innovation, and a lifelong love of learning among these students. Digital literacy has become one of the most important skills a young person can carry into their future, whether they go on to further education, vocational training, or straight into the workforce. Familiarity with computers, research tools, and digital workflows is no longer optional in most career paths, and early, hands-on exposure can make a lasting difference in how confidently a student approaches those opportunities later in life. A well-equipped IT lab gives students the chance to build that literacy early, on equal footing with students anywhere else in the country. A Growing Network of Digital Wings Labs The laboratory at Akkaraipattu Muslim Government School joins a growing number of Digital Wings installations that Laptop.lk has carried out across Sri Lanka. Each project follows the same principle: identify a school where access to technology is limited, and respond not with a token gesture, but with a complete, fully funded solution. Over time, this approach has allowed Digital Wings to steadily expand its footprint, reaching schools in different regions and communities across the island, each one receiving the same standard of equipment and care. These handovers are typically marked by community celebration, and this one was no exception. School leadership, students, and members of the Laptop.lk team gathered to mark the opening, a moment that captured not just the delivery of new equipment, but the beginning of a new chapter for the students who will learn in that space for years to come. Moments like these serve as a reminder of what focused, well-executed corporate social responsibility can achieve when it is approached with genuine commitment rather than as a one-time gesture. Why Laptop.lk Continues to Invest in Education For Laptop.lk, being Sri Lanka's leading computer and technology retailer has never been just about business. It is about using that position, and the relationships and resources that come with it, to make a tangible, lasting difference in the communities the company serves. Education has consistently been at the center of that commitment, because we believe education is the foundation of a stronger, smarter, and more connected Sri Lanka. This philosophy extends beyond any single donation or handover. It reflects a broader belief that the private sector has a meaningful role to play in strengthening the country's education system, particularly in areas where public resources alone may not be enough to close existing gaps. By channeling its expertise and resources directly into schools, Laptop.lk aims to create a ripple effect, one where a single well-equipped lab can influence the trajectory of hundreds of students over the years it remains in use. Looking Ahead Digital Wings will continue to expand into more schools across the island, guided by the same standard set at Akkaraipattu Muslim Government School: full funding, complete facilities, and equipment built to give students real, lasting opportunity. Each new lab represents another community brought a step closer to digital equity, and another group of students given the tools to compete, create, and succeed in an increasingly digital world. Together, we continue giving students wings to fly with technology.

LKR 80 million invested across 39 schools in the North Western Province marks one of the largest private sector education drives in recent years Some of the best technology stories aren't about specs or launches. They're about what technology makes possible for people who need it most. That's the story behind Laptop.lk's "Rebuilding Sri Lanka" initiative, a programme delivered through Technocity, our parent company, that has just wrapped up after putting real, usable digital infrastructure into the hands of more than 18,000 students across the North Western Province. Laptop.lk and Technocity have spent close to three decades building Sri Lanka's technology retail and distribution landscape together, under the same roof and the same leadership. This initiative shows what that experience looks like when it's turned toward giving back, and it's a project worth understanding in full, because the headline numbers only tell part of the story. The full picture involves government partnership, careful planning, a great deal of physical labour across dozens of school sites, and a philosophy about what genuine corporate responsibility should look like. Why this initiative matters Sri Lanka's digital divide has always had a geography to it. Access to computers, reliable internet, and digital skills training has historically clustered around Colombo and a handful of other urban centres, leaving schools in outlying provinces to make do with outdated equipment, or in many cases, no computer lab at all. For a student in a rural school, that gap doesn't just mean fewer hours spent on a keyboard. It can mean falling behind in an economy that increasingly expects digital literacy as a baseline skill, whether a young person goes on to university, vocational training, or straight into the workforce. Teachers feel this gap too. A teacher who wants to bring digital tools into a classroom, whether that's basic computer literacy, typing skills, research, or exposure to software that students will eventually need for exams or employment, can only do so much without functioning hardware. Textbooks can describe a spreadsheet. They cannot teach a student to build one. That distinction is exactly why the "Rebuilding Sri Lanka" initiative was designed the way it was. That's the gap Laptop.lk set out to close in the North Western Province. It's also why the scale of this initiative stands out. Private sector CSR programmes in Sri Lanka are common, and many companies contribute meaningfully to education and community causes each year. But few programmes have combined this level of financial commitment with this level of operational follow through, delivering not just equipment, but fully functioning learning spaces, in a matter of months rather than years. That combination of ambition and speed is what makes this initiative worth writing about at length. A commitment built to last Launched at the end of December and completed by the end of April, the programme reached 18,326 students across 39 schools in just four months. Laptop.lk, through Technocity, backed it with a total investment of roughly LKR 80 million, made up of LKR 20 million in cash channelled through the Prime Minister's Office, and close to LKR 60 million worth of IT equipment and related infrastructure. The initiative was carried out in close collaboration with the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of Education, and education authorities across the North Western Province. That level of coordination, spanning zonal education officials, school principals, teachers, and local communities, was what made a four month rollout possible. Programmes of this scale often take years to move from announcement to actual impact on the ground, caught up in procurement cycles, logistics delays, and the sheer administrative weight of coordinating dozens of institutions at once. Our team, working alongside government and education partners, compressed that timeline dramatically, turning a national scale commitment into a completed project within a single school term. It is worth pausing on what that timeline actually required. Thirty nine separate school sites, each with its own layout, its own existing infrastructure, its own staff and schedule, all needed to be assessed, planned for, and then physically fitted out with new equipment. That is not a task that can be rushed carelessly. It requires genuine logistical capability, the kind that only comes from decades of distribution experience across an entire island, the same experience Laptop.lk draws on every day to get the right products to customers all over Sri Lanka. More than computers: building complete learning environments What sets this initiative apart is the thinking behind it. Rather than simply dropping off computers and moving on, Laptop.lk set out to build complete digital learning environments that schools could put to use immediately, and keep using for years to come. That meant nine fully equipped IT laboratories, technology upgrades at participating schools, and the complete equipping of one Zonal Education Office. Each lab was fitted with new Intel Core i5 desktop computers with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD storage, 22 inch monitors, and all the supporting furniture needed to make the space genuinely functional, including computer tables and chairs designed for a classroom setting rather than an office. It's the kind of detail that separates a donation from an investment. A lab isn't useful if it's just hardware sitting in an empty room with no desks to place it on or chairs for students to sit in. By handling everything from the furniture students sit at to the machines they learn on, Laptop.lk built spaces that teachers and students could walk into and start using right away, without waiting on additional funding, furniture procurement, or electrical work to catch up. We have been direct about the philosophy driving this approach: that access to technology is now an essential part of modern education, and that a student's location or family income shouldn't determine whether they get the chance to build digital skills for the future. That belief is reflected in every part of how the programme was executed, from the choice of specifications for the desktop computers, which were selected to be genuinely capable machines rather than the cheapest available option, to the decision to equip an entire Zonal Education Office so that the administrative side of education in the region also benefits from better technology. In the words of leadership Mohamed Ismail Famy, Chairman of Technocity and Laptop.lk, summed up the intent behind the programme in a simple statement. "Our intention was not simply to donate computers, but to provide complete facilities that students and teachers could genuinely use for many years," he said. "Education and technology can change the direction of a young person's life, and we believe giving students access to these opportunities is one of the most meaningful ways we can contribute to our country." He also pointed to the company's history in Sri Lanka as a driving force behind the decision to invest in education specifically. "Sri Lanka has been the foundation of our growth for more than 28 years," he said. "We believe that as a Sri Lankan company grows, part of that success should return to the communities that helped make that growth possible." Famy also explained why education and technology, rather than any other cause, made sense as a focus for the group. "Technology is the industry we know best, and therefore we felt that using technology to strengthen education was an area where we could make a real and sustainable difference." These aren't just talking points attached to a press release after the fact. They describe a fairly consistent thread running through how Laptop.lk approaches community investment: choose the area where the company has the deepest expertise, and use that expertise to deliver something that actually lasts, rather than something that photographs well and fades quickly. Nearly three decades in the making Laptop.lk's ability to execute a programme at this scale, and at this speed, doesn't come out of nowhere. Together with Technocity, the group has more than 28 years of experience in Sri Lanka's technology industry, handling the distribution and development of more than 23 international technology brands through an islandwide partner and retail network. That infrastructure, built over almost three decades of operating across the country, is precisely what allowed a nine laboratory, 39 school rollout to happen in four months instead of four years. Distribution companies of this scale develop something that is hard to build quickly: relationships. Relationships with suppliers who can deliver equipment reliably. Relationships with logistics partners who can move that equipment across provinces. Relationships with technical staff who know how to install and configure a functioning computer lab correctly the first time. None of that capability is visible in a press photo of a finished classroom, but all of it is why the finished classroom exists at all, and it is the same capability that lets Laptop.lk get laptops and accessories to customers islandwide, quickly and reliably. It's also worth noting the human side of that infrastructure. Completing the programme required coordination not just with government partners, but internally, across our own teams, who travelled across the province to deliver, install, and complete each facility on the ground, often working directly with school staff to make sure every lab was ready for use rather than simply present. We are grateful to both our institutional partners and our employees for making the rollout possible, a recognition that reflects the scale of effort involved in a project like this one. The Laptop.lk connection For anyone who shops with Laptop.lk, this initiative is a reminder of the values behind the brand. The same team that helps you find the right laptop for work, study, or gaming is also the one building computer labs in schools that had never had one before. Technology, done right, isn't just about the newest release or the best deal. It's about access, and about making sure that access reaches beyond the cities and into every corner of the country. That connection isn't incidental. Laptop.lk and Technocity share the same roots, the same industry expertise, and, increasingly, the same sense that a company's growth in Sri Lanka should translate into something tangible for Sri Lankan communities. When you buy a laptop from Laptop.lk, you're supporting a group that has, over and over, chosen to reinvest part of its success into the country that built it, whether that's through programmes like Digital Wings or through initiatives like Rebuilding Sri Lanka. Looking ahead Laptop.lk has been clear that the completion of this phase is not the end of its commitment. Our broader focus on education, digital inclusion, and community development continues beyond "Rebuilding Sri Lanka," with attention now shifting toward sustaining the infrastructure and skills the programme has already delivered. That includes making sure schools have the support they need to maintain the equipment, and that teachers have the confidence to make full use of the labs now sitting in their classrooms. As we see it, the long term success of the programme won't ultimately be measured by the equipment installed, but by the opportunities those facilities create for students to learn, explore, innovate, and develop the skills needed in an increasingly technology driven world. That is, in many ways, the right way to measure any education initiative. Hardware ages. Skills, curiosity, and opportunity, once given a chance to grow, tend to compound over time. For a brand with nearly three decades in Sri Lanka's technology industry, that's a fitting way to think about impact. Not in units shipped, but in doors opened, for over 18,000 students who now have a lab to walk into that wasn't there before, and for 39 school communities across the North Western Province that will feel the effect of this initiative for years to come.

Investing in Sri Lanka's Future Through Technology In a powerful demonstration of how the private sector can partner with government to change lives, Laptop.lk, together with global technology leader Lenovo, has successfully completed a landmark national CSR initiative, providing 50 brand new Lenovo laptops to 50 deserving university students representing all 25 districts of Sri Lanka. The initiative was carried out in close collaboration with the Ministry of Education and the Prime Minister's Office, reflecting a shared national commitment to bridging the digital divide for the country's next generation of leaders, innovators, and professionals. A Nationwide Effort Rooted in Fairness What makes this initiative particularly meaningful is its scope and structure. Rather than concentrating support in a single region, the programme was deliberately designed to reach every corner of the island. Two students were carefully selected from each of Sri Lanka's 25 districts, ensuring truly nationwide representation. Selection was based on two key criteria: outstanding academic achievement and demonstrated financial need. This dual focus ensured that the laptops reached young Sri Lankans who had already proven their talent and drive, but who lacked the means to access the technology essential for modern higher education. For many of these students, the absence of a personal computer has long stood as a quiet but significant barrier, one that affects everything from research and assignments to online learning platforms and career preparation. This initiative directly addresses that gap, placing powerful tools for learning and growth into the hands of those who need them most. A Ceremony Marking a National Partnership The handover ceremony was held at The Address, Colombo, and brought together a distinguished gathering of government officials, corporate leaders, and international technology partners, underscoring the scale and significance of the initiative. Among those in attendance were: Mr. A.B.M. Ashraf – Additional Secretary to the Prime Minister Mr. Mohamed Ismail Famy – Chairman, Technocity Group Mr. Minhaj Farook – Director, Laptop.lk Mr. Naveen Kejriwal – Director, Lenovo Overseas Business Mr. Shekhar Karmakar – Regional Sales Head, Lenovo The presence of senior representatives from the Prime Minister's Office alongside Lenovo's international leadership team highlighted the initiative's standing as a genuine public private partnership, one built on a shared belief that access to technology should never be dictated by economic circumstance. More Than a Device: A Gateway to Opportunity For the 50 students who received their laptops, the moment carried significance far beyond the value of the hardware itself. A laptop, in the hands of a university student, becomes a gateway to higher education, to research and knowledge, to innovation, and ultimately, to opportunity. It enables participation in online coursework, access to global academic resources, the ability to complete assignments and projects to a professional standard, and the digital literacy that today's job market increasingly demands. By removing this barrier, Laptop.lk and Lenovo have not simply distributed equipment. They have extended a vote of confidence to 50 talented young people, affirming that their ambition and hard work deserve to be matched with the right tools to succeed. Our Commitment to a Stronger Sri Lanka At Laptop.lk, we hold a firm belief at the core of everything we do: a student's potential should never be limited by their financial circumstances. This initiative is a direct expression of that philosophy in action. By placing the right technology into the hands of deserving young people across the country, we hope to give them not just devices, but the tools, confidence, and support they need to pursue their ambitions, and in doing so, contribute meaningfully to building a stronger, more capable Sri Lanka. We extend our sincere appreciation to Lenovo, the Prime Minister's Office, and the Ministry of Education for joining hands with us to make this initiative possible. It is through partnerships such as this, where corporate responsibility, government vision, and industry expertise converge, that lasting, nationwide impact becomes possible. This initiative is part of a broader vision that Laptop.lk continues to pursue alongside its parent company, Technocity Group: using technology as a genuine equalizer in Sri Lankan society. Over the years, our CSR efforts, from equipping school computer labs under the Rebuilding Sri Lanka initiative to supporting digital literacy programmes island wide, have consistently centered on one conviction: that access to the right tools at the right moment in a young person's life can alter the entire trajectory of their future. The 50 students who received laptops through this programme now carry with them not only a device, but a renewed sense of possibility as they pursue their degrees, their careers, and their contributions to the country's development. We extend our sincere appreciation to Lenovo, the Prime Minister's Office, and the Ministry of Education for joining hands with us to make this initiative possible. It is through partnerships such as this, where corporate responsibility, government vision, and industry expertise converge, that lasting, nationwide impact becomes possible. As Laptop.lk looks to the future, we remain committed to expanding initiatives of this kind, continuing to invest in Sri Lanka's students, schools, and communities, and reaffirming our belief that technology, when placed in the right hands, has the power to transform not just individual lives, but the nation as a whole. 25 Districts. 50 Students. 50 Laptops. 50 Opportunities.A Future Empowered by Technology.

When Cyclone Ditwah devastated Sri Lanka in late 2025, the whole country was called on to help rebuild. This is how laptop.lk answered — by giving storm-hit schools their computer labs back.

Not every Sri Lankan student starts from the same place. Digital Wings is laptop.lk's initiative to close that gap — putting real IT resources into schools so every child has a fair shot at a digital future.

Rebuilding Sri Lanka: Supporting the Zonal Education Office, Giriulla It is a great pleasure and honor for Technocity and Laptop.lk to donate a brand-new PC, fitted with a Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD, along with a 22 inch monitor and UPS unit, to the Zonal Education Office, Giriulla, under the Rebuilding Sri Lanka project. Unlike a school laboratory built for a full classroom of students, this contribution targets a different, equally important part of the education system: the administrative backbone that keeps schools in the region running. A zonal education office coordinates everything from staffing and resources to communication between schools and the wider education ministry, and reliable computing equipment there has a way of rippling outward, making that coordination faster and more effective for every school under its umbrella. This contribution aims to strengthen digital infrastructure and support the advancement of education across the region, extending the same commitment behind the Rebuilding Sri Lanka initiative beyond individual classrooms and into the systems that support them. The official handover was carried out by Mr. Gehan Thangappan, Director of Technocity Pvt Ltd, Mr. Hemal Chandrathne, Head of Services at Technocity Pvt Ltd, and Mr. Mohamed Inshaf, Manager at Laptop.lk Pvt Ltd, representing the companies' continued commitment to empowering education through technology. Together, Technocity and Laptop.lk are building a smarter and stronger future for Sri Lanka, one contribution at a time.

Rebuilding Sri Lanka: IT Lab No. 09 Completed at Halabawatuwana Maha Vidyalaya, Chilaw Technocity and Laptop.lk are thrilled to announce the successful completion of IT Lab No. 09, this time at Halabawatuwana Maha Vidyalaya, Chilaw, under the Rebuilding Sri Lanka project. It's a milestone worth marking on its own, and a sign of how far the initiative has come with nine fully equipped laboratories now delivered to schools across the country. Access to modern technology isn't just an advantage. It's a foundation for the future. By equipping students with essential digital infrastructure and hands-on learning facilities, this project helps bridge the digital divide and opens doors to opportunities in higher education, careers, and innovation that would otherwise be harder to reach. The new IT facility includes: 20 brand-new Intel Core i5 desktop computers20 HD 22 inch LED monitors20 UPS units1 all-in-one InkTank printerA complete computer laboratory furniture setup For the students of Halabawatuwana Maha Vidyalaya, this means a fully functioning digital classroom rather than a handful of machines shared between too many students. Reliable computers, dependable power backup, and proper furniture together create the kind of environment where students can actually build fluency with technology, not just get occasional exposure to it. That fluency carries weight well beyond the classroom. Whether it's coursework, digital examinations, or the basic computer literacy that further education and employment increasingly assume students already have, a properly resourced lab gives every student in the room the same starting point to build from. Every lab completed brings the Rebuilding Sri Lanka initiative one step closer to a digitally empowered Sri Lanka. A huge thank you goes to the school administration, the dedicated educators, and everyone involved in turning this vision into reality, at Halabawatuwana Maha Vidyalaya and at every school that has come before it.

Rebuilding Sri Lanka: A Fifth IT Laboratory Opens at Ananda College, Chilaw On 10th February 2026, Technocity Pvt Ltd marked a significant milestone in its corporate social responsibility journey with the successful completion of its fifth IT laboratory, this time at Ananda College, Chilaw. The handover forms part of the broader Rebuilding Sri Lanka program, launched to restore educational infrastructure and uplift communities affected by the devastation caused by Cyclone Ditwah in late 2025. For a school community still recovering from that disaster, a fully equipped computer laboratory is more than new hardware. It's a signal that recovery includes looking forward, not just repairing what was lost. The event was graced by Pradeep Saputhanthri, Secretary to the Prime Minister, who attended as Chief Guest. Famy Ismail, Chairman of Technocity Pvt Ltd and Laptop.lk, attended as Guest of Honor, alongside Mr. Kadeer, Director of Technocity Pvt Ltd, and Mr. Hemal Chandrathne, Head of Services. The IT equipment donated to Ananda College was valued at approximately LKR 6.5 million, contributing to the overall LKR 50 million commitment Technocity Pvt Ltd has pledged toward the Rebuilding Sri Lanka initiative. It's a pledge being delivered one school at a time, and this laboratory represents another substantial step toward fulfilling it. For the students of Ananda College, the new laboratory means real, hands-on access to modern computing, at a moment when digital literacy is no longer optional for education or employment. It gives a new generation of students the tools they need to succeed in a digital world, regardless of the setbacks their community has faced. This milestone reflects Technocity Pvt Ltd's continued dedication to empowering education through technology, and to supporting the nation's long-term recovery and development, one laboratory and one school at a time.

Rebuilding Sri Lanka: Lab No. 3 Opens at Dammaloka Maha Vidyalaya, Chilaw Technocity Group has extended its commitment to education once again, setting up a complete computer laboratory at Dammaloka Maha Vidyalaya in Chilaw. It is the third laboratory delivered under the Rebuilding Sri Lanka initiative, and another concrete step toward closing the digital divide for rural students. The investment for this single laboratory stands at LKR 2.5 million, a substantial contribution that equips students at Dammaloka Maha Vidyalaya with the modern tools they need to thrive in a technology-driven world. The goal behind bringing high-quality hardware to Chilaw is a simple one: geography should never limit a child's potential. That goal carries particular weight this year. Sri Lanka is still recovering from Cyclone Ditwah, which struck the country in late November 2025 and caused widespread flooding and damage across every district, including the North Western Province. Against that backdrop, restoring and upgrading school ICT infrastructure isn't just a nice-to-have. It's a critical part of the country's long-term recovery, giving students a place to rebuild momentum in their education even as their communities rebuild around them. A properly equipped computer lab does more than provide access to hardware. It lays the foundation for students to build essential skills, from basic computing all the way through to advanced coding and AI, skills that will shape how the next generation of Sri Lankan students learns, works, and competes. This marks the third laboratory in the Rebuilding Sri Lanka initiative, following the labs already delivered at Zahira College, Puttalam, and Thambarawila Maha Vidyalaya, Chilaw. Each one adds another school, and another community, to a growing network of digitally empowered classrooms across the country.

Rebuilding Sri Lanka: Lab No. 2 Opens at Thambarawila Maha Vidyalaya, Chilaw On 5th February, Technocity and Laptop.lk unveiled the second IT laboratory under the Rebuilding Sri Lanka initiative at Thambarawila Maha Vidyalaya in Chilaw, giving students in the area access to quality digital education for the first time. The fully equipped facility represents a total investment of LKR 3 million, and was designed to be more than just a room full of computers. It is powered by the latest ASUS PCs for high-performance computing, paired with 22 inch Philips monitors for enhanced visibility and better ergonomics. UPS protection safeguards every system against power fluctuations, and the space is fitted with proper tables and chairs built for long study sessions. Every part of the setup was chosen with a clear purpose in mind. The systems are capable of supporting coding, design, research, and advanced applications, so the lab can grow with its students rather than becoming outdated as their needs do. The UPS protection means a power interruption doesn't have to mean a lost lesson or a damaged system. And the furniture was chosen specifically to encourage better posture and productivity during long sessions, because comfort matters when students are expected to focus for hours at a time. For Thambarawila Maha Vidyalaya, this laboratory marks a genuine turning point. Where students previously had little or no exposure to a properly resourced computer classroom, they now have a future-ready learning environment built for the kind of digital skills that today's education, and tomorrow's workplace, increasingly demand. This is Lab No. 2 in the Rebuilding Sri Lanka initiative, following the laboratory handed over at Zahira College, Puttalam. At Technocity and Laptop.lk, we believe technology is the foundation for opportunity, and every laboratory we hand over is another step toward building digitally empowered schools across Sri Lanka.
