Livelihood Development Project

Lives and properties have been sacrificed to the Indian Ocean due to recent Tsunami disaster. The livelihoods of citizens in Sri Lanka have been destroyed against their sights. Therefore, we had to go towards them to assist with their survival. Thus, HELP‐O started, initially, to collect real information of affected people and property. Then, they are divided into two separate categories in order to distribute relevant benefits.

  • Microbusiness
  • Handicraft
  • Street vendors

Then we have formed small groups including 15 maximum numbers of members in each   group.      And   they   are   encouraged   to   save   their   income   for   sustainable development.   This small savings groups will instruct to form a co‐operative society called “Micro finance & Housing co‐operative Bank society”.   We have distributed goods 645 people for Micro business and 400 vendors and Street vendors they have started their own business. HELP‐O has been following a special procedure of distributing goods. That is to provide training programs for beneficiaries before distribute aid. Those are as follows:
