A portion of each mentorship supports meaningful initiatives, creating impact not only in your life, but in the lives of others.
Little SunBirds | Sri Lanka
Little SunBirds is a charitable project dedicated to expanding access to education for children in Sri Lanka.
In the region of Ratnapura, many families live in challenging conditions, and for many children, reaching a secondary school is simply not possible due to distance and limited resources. Education, however, remains one of the most powerful opportunities for a different future.
This initiative focuses on building a new school block, creating 750 additional places for children who would otherwise be left without access to education.
The project is led with deep personal involvement, from working closely with architects and local leaders to regularly visiting Sri Lanka and ensuring that every step reflects the real needs of the community.
Mission: Love in Action
Supporting Little SunBirds means contributing to a vision where care becomes action, creating real opportunities for children through education
Goal: Brighter Futures
A new school building with 750 places, opening the door to learning, growth, and long-term change
Place: Where It’s Needed Most
Sri Lanka, where many children are still unable to access secondary education due to distance and lack of infrastructure
Ambition: The Best for Children
To create a safe, inspiring, and high-quality learning environment, designed to support children not only academically, but in their overall development
About Olia and Jeremy
Olia and Jeremy founded Little SunBirds from a shared belief that success and personal growth should create a positive impact beyond themselves.
Inspired by their time in Sri Lanka and the people they met there, they chose to support education as a way to create long-term opportunity for local children.
The project was brought to life through their wedding, with gifts redirected to fund and build this initiative.
Together with Lewis Allen, Jeremy’s long-term business partner with extensive experience in international charitable projects, they are actively involved in every stage, from collaborating with architects and local leaders to regularly visiting Sri Lanka and closely following the project’s development.
For them, Little SunBirds is a meaningful expression of conscious contribution, care, and responsibility.
