LOLC Divi Saviya surpasses 2000 schools

LOLC Divi Saviya’ launched in February 2023, has been a beacon of hope for the most deserving children across Sri Lanka. This ambitious project has now successfully reached out to 2000 schools as at date, transforming the educational journey of countless children.

To commemorate this momentous occasion, a special event was organized at the Punkudathivu Roman Catholic Tamil Mixed School on September 15, where the essential school supplies were distributed to the students at the presence of several well-wishers. 
Sakunthala, representing the parents of Hettiyawa Primary School in Anuradhapura said,“It is a day when hope rained down upon us, just like the much-needed rain during a drought. When our villagers whose livelihood is agriculture were struggling with helplessness, wondering how to provide for our children’s education, LOLC emerged as our guide. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the joy and care you have brought into our hearts. While we struggled to afford the essential school equipment that our children need for unhindered learning, LOLC’s ‘Divi Saviya’ has come forward to support the children of our nation”. 

The ‘Divi Saviya’ initiative, began with 1390 schools and expanded its reach across the entire island. Under the second phase, initiated in August, the project is set to extend its assistance to 1512 schools further, catering to the students’ needs.  Operating under the theme ‘For the future of the children,’ this programme provides school requirement kits comprising school bags, exercise books, pens, pencils, colour boxes, and mathematical toolboxes to schoolchildren. LOLC Group has made a substantial investment of Rs.1.5 billion in this endeavour.
