Unilever Sri Lanka recently reached out to 10 villages through its ‘Gamata Saubaghya’ initiative to renovate wells, provide safe drinking water to schools and rebuild community halls.
The ‘Gamata Saubhagya’ initiative was launched as a community development project within Unilever Sri Lanka’s Sunlight Saubhagya micro-entrepreneurship scheme. This scheme is designed to provide a sustainable source of income to participants, thereby enhancing livelihoods and helping improve the quality of life.
“When we initiated this program, our aspirations were twofold. We wanted to uplift the quality of life in selected rural communities and at the same time help our very own Sunlight Saubhagya entrepreneurs increase the respect they have among the community. We will complete 35 ‘Gamata Saubhagya’ projects in 2011,” said Surith Perera, Customer Director of Unilever Sri Lanka.
