Bringing
light to Suriyawewa
The pride of Lanka Organics, Suriyawewa
was begun with the main aim of relieving
the plight of families in the area.
Located in Sri Lanka's arid day zone,
Suriyawewa was bad affected by the drought
that took hold of the area 2 years ago.
Co-ordinating the efforts of NGO are wishing
to help villages, Lanka Organics took
up the challenge to improve living standards.
This in an area with no power or water
on tap.
With the investment of effort and funds
Suriyawewa has slowly been transformed.
Villagers specialize in producing traditional
handlooms and work at our cereal storage
and processing unit.
A tube well, 5 new houses, a community
centre and a crèche have given
hope to villagers. They have leant on
us and turn themselves into a great team.
The project has transformed this downtrodden
area into one of the most effective.
