Under the leadership of Past International President, Lion Mahendra Amarasuriya, the Lanka Lions Foundation initiated a Micro Loan scheme in December 2012 to assist ‘the economically active poor’ including micro entrepreneurs who are unable to avail themselves of credit facilities from other formal sources, to obtain micro loans through the Lions Clubs in the Multiple District 306. Lions of Multiple District 306 can contribute to this cause making them a Mahendra Amarasuriya Fellow (MAF) Member.
