Women’s Group or Kantha Samithiya
Empowerment of a local group of women through eco-friendly income generation is another intervention initiated by this project.
We have enlisted a group of 50 women from the village and introduced them to the manufacture of several items from re-cycled paper and other natural products easily available locally.
They are now able to make shopping bags from old newspapers and a variety of greeting cards from recycled paper, jewellery from coconut shells to suit any occasion.
In this way the women will have at least a small income of their own and also introduce the concept of holistic health to their families
