Building a Disability Inclusive Economy Through Community Project

 

 

The Disability Organizations Joint Front  has selected the Puttalam district to carry out the project “Building a Disability Inclusive Economy Through Community” under the aid provided by the Australian Government.

Centered in Puttalam district, this project has been started in Mahakumbukkada, Mundalama Nawakhattigama, Pallama, Arachchikattuwa, and Anamaduwa with the facilities of the District Secretary. This project is one year project from 2022 to August 2023

Accordingly, through this livelihood-building project, the young disabled community living in the regional secretariat will build their livelihood to get the necessary guidance for vocational training according to their interests and skills, and a development project will be carried out as a group in the area. We hope to provide the training and education, materials, and technical know-how needed to power the manufacturing economy.
