The Cabinet of Ministers has approved a project proposal to build a secure, skilled, and empowered community for families resettled at the Kalinga Mawatha housing scheme in Colombo 05. The Urban Regeneration Project encompasses 528 houses, with 384 currently occupied by relocated families from underprivileged urban settlements. Despite having permanent homes, these residents face social-economic challenges as they adapt to a new lifestyle.
The Agromart Outreach Foundation submitted a proposal for a multilateral project under the Ministry of Women and Child Affairs, which will provide policy guidance and administrative sponsorship. The Foundation will also contribute technical expertise and funds for the execution of the project, with the Urban Development Authority serving as the facilitating partner.
The initiative aims to empower low-income women within three years, focusing on four primary sections: Needs Assessment, Economic Transformation, Holistic Family Support, and Sustainable Integration.
