what we do : livelihoods  
Livelihoods

Our livelihood programmes aim to create a strong link between communities and their environment. Through ongoing community training and support in organic and sustainable farming, we empower people to generate alternative incomes while protecting and restoring native biodiversity.

We also support our communities to access local and international organic markets by giving marketing training and looking for sales opportunities for theirs, and our, products.

Our sales outlet, The Organic Garden, is a unique venue on the south coast of Galle, provideing an opportunity for community nurseries to sell their organic plants, pots and compost. The centre also offers fresh juices and Mangrove boat tours to tourists.
