In a refreshing display of social responsibility, Leo Club of the University of Colombo has launched ‘Project One Drop’. Its objectives shine with purpose, targeting clean water and energy conservation.

Phase 1 was all about giving a riverbank clean-up, ensuring clean water for communities, and reducing water pollution. Starting our project with the goal of benefiting others, we began the project with cleaning the riverbank in Paravitota, Ingiriya. This area is a part of Kalu Ganga, and countless lives depend on its clean water. We sat down as the committee, planning ways to raise funds and ensure the project's success. Additionally, we reached out to the Horana Regional Council and the Horana Police, and they came through in a big way!

On January 13th, 2024, the magic happened. We planted Kumbuk trees along the riverbank, put up awareness boards to remind everyone about keeping the water clean, and even installed some handy garbage bins. Importantly, we dedicated the day to thoroughly cleaning the Paravitota area in Ingiriya. Regional Council Secretary, and the OIC of the Horana Police station and his team, offered invaluable advice, provided trucks to haul away all the collected garbage, and even treated us with a delicious lunch. By the end of the day, our hearts were full, and our muscles a bit sore, but we had successfully completed Phase 1 of our mission!

The positive feedback warmed our hearts like the afternoon sun. Seeing smiles etched on the faces of our community, knowing we contributed to a cleaner Kalu Ganga, that's what made it all worth it.


So, we thank each and every one who contributed and supported us in making this project a success.

                  'Sasiri Hetak'- Phase 01 Education is one of the most critical pillars of a nation's development. The future of a country heavily relies on the quality of education it provides, and schools are at the heart of this system. In Sri Lanka, there are approximately 10,155 schools. Unfortunately, many of these schools lack even the most basic facilities, which hinders the ability to provide quality education.   We have recognized this problem and organized to implement 'Sasiri Hetak’ school renovation project as continues project in Leo club of University of Colombo.

          Diyani 8.0 - Her Well (First Phase ) ~Access to basic sanitation should be a basic right, not a privilege~ Sanitation and hygiene practices are crucial for maintaining health and well-being, yet many people, particularly women, face significant barriers in accessing proper education and resources. Menstruation remains a taboo in many cultures, viewed as shameful or impure due to cultural and religious norms. This stigma prevents open discussions and limits access to information and resources. As the world observes International Menstrual Hygiene Day 2024 with the theme "Period Friendly World," the question remains: Are we ready to talk openly about periods? To address this, Leo Club of University of Colombo conducted "Her Well" on 11th October 2024, marking the first phase of Diyani 8.0. Held at Ihala Madampalla Ranasinghe M.V., the project aimed to raise awareness about sanitation and menstrual hygiene among students, targeting both boys and girls to br
