 Nisagini - Phase I “Lifting people out of poverty can have trickle-up economic effects and raise all boats” These days, Sri Lanka's economy is in a very precarious situation. So, it is a very difficult time to satisfy the hunger of the people. This time, we the Leo Club of University of Colombo decided to put manuals in an activity to alleviate the hunger of people who are in economic difficulty.

So, for that, we found a family in Wanduramba, Galle who haven’t sufficient income to maintain a paddy field. Then our committee decided on the budget by collecting more details, how we should raise funds for this event, etc. Then
