Feed the hungry

Hunger is a basic need. For some, it is a daily struggle for survival. It affects millions of people worldwide leaving them weak and unhealthy. Also in our country poverty has left a significant portion of the population struggling with their daily food needs.

As many Sri Lankan street beggars struggle on just one meal a day, Leo Club of University of Moratuwa took it upon themselves to make a difference. On the 9th and 10th of December 2024, we organized a two day free meal donation campaign titled ‘Feed the Hungry’.  This initiative aimed to provide a meal for street beggars and those in need. Starting at 11.00 AM we drove this campaign to provide them with nutritious lunch and bring relief to their challenging lives.

In those two days, our team worked untiringly, from preparing to distributing meals for those in need. It was not just about providing a meal; it had every reason to be a friendly relation and a helping hand toward those whom society forgets. We visited different areas, reaching out to street beggars. Again, their smiles and words of gratitude reminded us of this initiative.
