With this support, Dhiraagu aims 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 to support 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'.

Supporting children and young people is a key focus area under Dhiraagu's CSR programme. The company also provides programme-based support throughout the year and works closely with NGOs working to empower young people.
