Things you didn’t know about Sri Lanka
Little Leaders Foundation is an organization located in the Netherlands, yet we have been executing various projects in a country on the other side of the world: Sri Lanka. The kick-off of our Sponsor A Child project was in December 2020 and we are hopeful to continue working here for many more years. But what do you actually know about Sri Lanka, the country where our Little Leaders are growing up?
