The NLA Good Causes Foundation is hinged on Section 2(3) of the National Lotto Act. This section mandates the NLA to conduct, as part of the operation of the National Lotto, a lottery to provide care and protection for individuals who are physically or mentally afflicted, the needy, the aged, orphans, and destitute children. The proceeds from this lottery fund the Foundation’s activities, including the three-unit classroom block in Akanteng.
