Infrastructure Development And Support For The Villagers Of Banagoda and Batatota
Vidullanka’s strategic approach to CSR was conceptualized a year ago. Our first formal project was a 5 kW micro-hydro project at Gabalawatte, a remote village situated in the Ratnapura district, approximately 125 km from Colombo. The company’s efforts have given hope and opened up a vista of opportunities to a number of families in the area, since the inhabitants of this remote village do not foresee a grid connection in the near future. This project provides electricity to twenty-one families, with each family receiving a power supply of 250-300 watts. In addition to providing lighting, the supply also permits householders to engage in different income-generating activities such as tailoring, farming and the laundering of clothes.
