Nourishing Futures Initiative

About

The "Nourishing Futures Initiative" was a heartfelt project undertaken by the Lions Club of Kandy Rajans with the mission of providing daily nutritious meals to the children of Poddalgoda Preliminary School. Understanding the critical role that proper nutrition plays in both the physical and mental development of young students, the club committed to sustaining this initiative for six continuous months. The project had a financial goal of 468,000 LKR, based on a daily meal cost of 3,900 LKR. Through the collective efforts and unwavering dedication of every club member, the project not only reached but exceeded its fundraising target, securing a total of 528,000 LKR. This impressive achievement ensured that all logistical needs were met, and the surplus funds created a buffer for future initiatives aimed at supporting the community's nutritional needs.

For six months, every child at Poddalgoda Preliminary School received a wholesome meal each day, significantly improving their health and capacity to concentrate on their studies. The initiative has had a lasting impact, with noticeable improvements in both the physical well-being and academic performance of the students, demonstrating the profound effect of regular, balanced nutrition
