The Carlton Pre-school Maligawatte, is one of eight pre-schools that
educate over 1600 students, established by the First Lady across the
country. The first ever pre-school was established 30 years ago, with an
objective of providing free education to children of low-income
families.
In an effort to uplift the nutrition level of the nation, Fonterra
Brands Lanka strives to inculcate the habit of drinking milk among the
younger generation, and thus provides free Anchor milk to thousands of
children through similar school based programmes.
Milk is one of the most nutritious food sources for growing children,
and with this project Anchor highlighted the importance of including
milk in daily diets for the holistic, physical and mental development of
children.
Fonterra's flagship brand Anchor has played an active role in child
development by providing gold standard milk nutrition, trusted by
mothers for over 30 years. Anchor milk is subject to over 50 tests
throughout the supply chain, from the time it is extracted from the cow,
to the time it is delivered to the consumer. "The benefits of Anchor
products, which provide the best of dairy nutrition, are delivered to
the consumer through continuous research and development, world-class
manufacturing processes and consistent testing in line with
international standards," Fonterra Brands Lanka Manaing Director Achyut
Kasireddy said. |
