The first chapter of LOLC Divi Saviya, ‘Jeewithaya Dinannata’, launched in early 2021 with an investment of Rs. 500 million, provided vital support to 125,000 families by delivering essential provisions within 100 days during the COVID19 pandemic.
The next chapter, ‘Daye Daruwange Anagathaya Wenuwen’, was launched with an investment of Rs. 2.5 billion, reached 40 per cent of Sri Lankan school population, supporting 296,000 children across 4,090 schools.
The third chapter, ‘Obai, Mamai, Ape Ratai’, was initiated following a needs assessment that identified 4,000 displaced families and 200 schools with damaged infrastructure in regions affected by Cyclone Ditwah.
Commenting at the event, Mr. Jayawardena said: “It was a great privilege to share the outcomes of our 200-school restoration drive with the Prime Minister, demonstrating how LOLC Divi Saviya continues to support communities recover and rebuild.
