Stationed at the location was the highly equipped mobile clinic which conducted the eye clinic, dental clinic and the signature sexual and reproductive health clinic. Benefitted through this programme were not only the students attached to the Saddharmodaya Vidyalaya, but also their dear parents and siblings. In parallel to the clinics conducted a donation of linen items, under clothing, dry food packs and other items that help maintain personal hygiene. Hands involved in making this event an immense success are the medical unit of FPASl, the eye clinic mobile unit of the General Hospital and the George Gunarathne opticians who extended their fullest cooperation for the programme.

Lisa Project
The LISA project, funded by UNFPA, carried out a number of mobile clinics in the Kilinochchi and Mullaitive districts during the month of April. While the mobile clinics were conducted with the objective of providing lifesaving reproductive health services which in turn would reduce maternal, neonatal mortality and the incidence of HIV/AIDS, psychological support were also extended for pregnant mothers through counseling programmes.
The project activities under the LISA project were conducted in close coordination with the public health system of the target areas. The public health system unable to cater and access to the entire community of the target area, LISA bridging the gap, participation of the target community for LISA activities is noted to be remarkable.
