In response to the challenges faced by students affected by the adverse weather conditions in the country, many individuals and organizations have come forward to provide commendable support. In order to facilitate the receipt of financial donations from both local and international donors, the Government has introduced several designated bank accounts.
The Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Higher Education, and the Ministry of Vocational Education, and other relevant government ministries, are responsible only for financial donations made to the official accounts introduced by the Government. The Ministry has not granted consent or approval for any financial contributions directed to the accounts of any other association or individual. Therefore, responsibility for such donations lies solely with the respective organizations or individuals concerned. While appreciating the contributions made by the public during this difficult time, the Ministry urges donors to exercise caution and ensure accountability when making financial contributions for the welfare of the affected students.
