  Project සුවධරණී   The first phase of our community health initiative, Project Suwadarani was successfully completed on 20th November 2025. Our aim in this phase was to raise awareness about diabetes and encourage early prevention among the community. We selected the Boralasgamuwa Municipal Council as our location because many people visit the premises early in the morning and often do not have time to think about their health. Through discussions with the Chairman and based on previous tests carried out by the MOH office, we learned that a significant number of individuals in the area had tested positive for diabetes. This highlighted the need for immediate awareness and education. Our main objective was to educate the community about diabetes, its risks, symptoms, and the importance of early prevention. We wanted to help people understand how small lifestyle changes can reduce their chances of developing diabetes in the future. The awareness session was held from 3:00...

Staying true to our mission of safeguarding communities, this phase focused on crime and accident prevention, especially for most of Tamil families living in remote and challenging conditions. Many of these community members have limited awareness about crime, legal protection, and the steps to take when they become victims of the crimes. Understanding this gap, our first phase was designed to give them awareness about identifying crimes, seeking help, preventing victimization. Along with awareness, we provided safety equipment and first aid materials, ensuring practical support that directly improves their safety in their day tod...
