  In our ongoing commitment to create a safer online environment, we proudly launched Project Cyber Suraksha in collaboration with the Rotaract Club of Ratnapura. As we entered the final phase of this journey, we divided it into two key parts to reach different age groups with targeted messages. The first part of this final phase focused on kids below the age of 15. In an interactive session specially designed to engage young minds, we educated them about the good and bad uses of mobile phones. Through games, stories, and real-life examples, we made it easier for these young children to understand the potential risks and best practices when using mobile devices. Next, we shifted our attention to Advanced Level students at Newstead Girls' College, Negombo.

           Connecting Dreams      The final step in Project ID's mission  Project ID is an initiative dedicated to uplifting communities across Sri Lanka by addressing essential infrastructure needs. With a focus on sustainable development, the project envisions a Sri Lanka where every citizen has access to the facilities they need to thrive. Following a successful first phase, the second phase marked a pivotal step in its mission to bridge critical gaps in underserved regions. In an era where globalization connects the world more than ever, it's disheartening to witness that many rural schools in Sri Lanka still lack access to basic digital resources.

The second phase of Project ID was carried out at NWP/M/M Hithokadawala Secondary School in Maho on April 25, 2025. During our initial visi...
