"Where kindness meets appreciation"

Step into the heartwarming world of the Leo Club of University of Colombo's latest endeavor, "Kruthaguna." This inspiring project is on a mission to bring smiles and companionship to our beloved elders. Picture this: the first phase, "Sneha," transformed the serene halls of Wijayarathna Elders Home in Hagoda, Rathgama, Galle, into a haven of joy and connection. Let's delve into the magic of Sneha, where every moment was dedicated to make our seniors feel truly cherished.

The Kruthaguna project endeavors to address the prevalent challenge of elderly loneliness by fostering moments of joy and companionship. Recognizing the vital role of social interaction in the well-being of elder individuals, we are committed to create opportunities for laughter, friendship, and meaningful connections that uplift their spirits and enhance their overall happiness and health.


On January 27, 2024, the Sneha session began with lots of different activities chosen especially for the elders. They had yummy food, played games, watched entertainment, and received thoughtful gifts to bring smiles to their faces.

The main aim of Sneha was to show people how important it is to care for our elders and make sure they don't feel lonely. By organizing fun activities and create a sense of belonging, the project hoped to make life better for the residents. They also used YouTube and social media to share the happiness with more people and get support for their mission.


The project was made possible with the help of volunteers, local businesses, and the community. Everyone working together made the experience even more special for the senior citizens, who loved every moment of it.

The positive response from the staff and residents at Wijayarathna Elders Home showed that Sneha was a big success. As the Kruthaguna project continues, it promises to keep caring for senior citizens residing in care homes and making sure they feel valued and happy.

          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?
