OUR JOURNEY

From a Dream to a Legacy

Since our founding in 1999 by the late Lion Dhanapala Athukorala of the Lions Club of Kolonnawa, we have stood as a beacon of youth leadership, service, and unity.

What began as a simple yet powerful dream—to give young people the tools to lead and serve—has grown into one of the most distinguished and impactful Leo Clubs in Sri Lanka.

Back in our formative years, we were part of the original Leo District 306 C. As our club matured, we grew into Leo District 306 C1, and now proudly belong to Leo District 306D6—a symbol of our continued evolution, excellence, and dedication to shaping the future.

Under the steady guidance of our first President, Leo Devendra Godawattha (1999/2000), the seeds of greatness were sown. More than two decades later, the legacy still grows.

Why We Stand Out

A Family Like No Other

We are not just a service club—we are a home. A home where young people from every background come together to learn, grow, lead, and serve. We welcome all.

Service With Purpose

From disaster relief to youth empowerment, from education to sustainability—we have simply done what needed to be done. Not for the applause, but for the impact.

Leaders of Tomorrow

Of character. Of friendships. Of futures. Every project is a chance to grow. Leadership isn’t about titles. It’s about trust, dedication, and the courage to inspire.

What We Stand For

Leadership

Inspiring trust, dedication, and the courage to guide others toward a better future.

Service

Creating meaningful impact in communities—not for applause, but because it’s the right thing to do.

Friendship

Building bonds that transcend backgrounds, creating a family where everyone belongs.

Integrity

Upholding honesty and strong moral principles in everything we do, every project we undertake.
