Where We Work
There is a large rural-urban divide in Sri Lanka. Opportunities, resources, services and political decision makers tend to be concentrated in urban areas. Sewalanka focuses on strengthening the capacity of organizations in disadvantaged rural communities so that people in these areas are able to access information, resources and services, influence decision making and catalyze regional change
We target:
- Remote villages with limited access to information, services and markets
- Villages that have natural resource or livelihood constraints and no support from other organizations
- Areas directly affected by conflict and/or natural disaster; and
- Areas where people have been relocated or resettled
