The organization continues to provide monitoring and coaching support to the 600 mudslide and flood affected individuals who benefited from small grants which was equivalent to US$ 100 (SLLE 850,000) each to re-establish micro and small enterprises, such as local convenience stores, mobile credit re-sellers, food stalls and small green enterprise start-ups.
Also, the organization facilitated the opening of bank accounts for all the 600 beneficiaries in an effort to help increase their financial management as well as establishing linkages for ease of access to loan facilities.
The intervention consisted of the implementation of a fully comprehensive business development and knowledge transfer training which lead to the establishment of small or medium enterprises (SMEs) as a means of providing livelihood incomes to the survivors.
