Project දිවිසරු - ජීවිතය ජීවත්
කරවන්නට
2nd Phase – “දිරි දිවි”
On 8
th of March 2026, Leo club of
University of Colombo successfully launched the
“දිරි
දිවි” the second phase of the project “දිවිසරු” at Biyagama
Divisional Secretariat. The main objective of the project “දිවිසරු” is to
help people who are feeling suffered with poverty and initiating new pathways
to build their own life which they can live happily & optimistically. Therefore,
through our second phase, we introduced soap production to the rural population
as an easy self-employment opportunity that allows entrepreneurs to conquer the
local market. In this phase, we conduct our programme under two sessions. One
is, we planned awareness programme to provide rural people with the necessary
guidelines to start the soap manufacturing industry and provide practical
sessions with regarding making soap and give the raw materials needed to
continue it as a business.
We first worked to provide rural people with
a better understanding of the soap manufacturing industry. Here, Mr. Alan held
founder of Saban Mahagedara gave a special lecture on self-employment. He
provided a lot of important information, from the basic knowledge of the soap
manufacturing industry to how to run it as an industry. And also, he told what the benefit of this soap manufacturing industries have and how get them. Here
is no doubt that this soap manufacturing industry awareness program has been a
great help to our people who are interested in supporting the local industry
and who want to work as entrepreneurs.
Secondly, the Leos, who did not stop at raising awareness, took steps to
provide all the raw materials needed for the industry to the rural people,
laying the foundation for the dream of self-employment. In this session, we got
them knowledge about making soaps, washing powder and washing liquid and we
mainly focused about
guiding them for manufacturing soaps and try them out
practically. Giving such opportunity for people is very helpful for making our
programme better and they appreciated it. Then we
handed out raw material set which are helping to make such production.
Here, in this programme
30 Grama Seva Divisions belonging to the Biyagama Divisional Secretariat were
covered. It also made it possible to increase the contribution made by family
units. Furthermore, we created a WhatsApp group to bring together the family
units involved in the program, and through it, we are very happy to be able to
provide regular updates and support their production process. The aim of the
overall program is to provide the basic foundation needed for the poor people
living in villages to contribute to the country with their own abilities. Although
the main objective of this program was for the soap manufacturing industry, the
sole objective of the Leo Society is to empower people who have the potential
to become a strength to the local economy.
Accordingly, the “දිරි දිවි” project
is a great way to nourish a person's life with courage. It should also be noted
that the Leo club is constantly committed to supporting people to succeed in
life by performing such noble tasks. Stay tuned to help make more lives
successful in the future. Thank you.
