With the commencement of the new academic year, Dhiraagu’s aim is to assist all 10 FCSCs nationwide to promote digital literacy and address the educational needs of children under state care.
Under the company’s CSR focus on supporting children under state care, Dhiraagu has continuously been supporting state care facilities for children over the past several years, including Kuda Kudhinge Hiyaa in Villimale’ and Fiyavathi in Hulhumale’. This includes internet provision, the donation of computer systems and the setup of computer labs and a library in Kuda Kudhinge Hiyaa.
