Our Community
We have been delighted to support the Foundation for Disadvantaged Children in Bangadeniya. The foundation has a residential facility where 14 boys are cared for by two volunteer women. We have recently supported them to re-furnish the home, making the daily running of the home much easier.
The centre shares an access road with the Lanka Salad Company, which was in poor repair. LSC has been carrying out ongoing, much needed maintenance of the road, which has provided secure access to the Foundation.
Water
LSC have an ongoing relationship with the Chief Monk, with the goal of providing a water collection point at the local Temple.
outgrower initiative
LSC is in early stage development of establishing an outgrower network with farmers. The initiative is centred around a promise of knowledge transfer, providing farmers access to education on how to increase production whilst adopting sustainable farming practices.
This project would focus on fair pricing for the farmer, so that livelihoods are not only sustained, but improved.
