This project is actively working for SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 15 (Life on Land), organized with the Citizen’s Council of Anuradhapura this year. Anuradhapura, the first kingdom of Sri Lanka, emerged over 2,500 years ago and is located in the North Central Province. After flourishing for 1,200 years, the capital was relocated deeper into the country, but the region’s rich archaeological heritage remains. Today, most residents depend on paddy farming, though poverty and underdevelopment persist in many villages. In 1956, the government initiated a resettlement project in some areas, and the descendants of those original settlers—now spanning three generations—continue to live there. Despite this long history, the community still faces significant challenges, including limited access to basic facilities and ongoing poverty. While the first generation was primarily engaged in agriculture, the third generation is now seeking broader employment opportunities. Our partner organization is actively working to address these issues through initiatives focused on human rights, media literacy, youth awareness, and women’s empowerment.
