Women’s Programmes
Since 2009, our Women’s Empowerment Programme has provided disadvantaged women who have little to no formal education with an opportunity to build a sustainable livelihood.
In our training centres in Killinochchi and Erlalai, we empower women to discover and develop their talents through intensive training led by expert instructors from the State Department of Skills and Vocational Training (Sri Lanka).
Upon successful completion, participants receive an accredited certificate and can either join established industries like garment manufacturing or start their own businesses.
Serendip is dedicated to empowering vulnerable individuals and families, particularly single mothers, women-headed households, and people with disabilities. Many of those we serve have faced adversity, including war, accidents, or congenital conditions. We also support extremely low-income families. Our livelihood support programme aims to provide sustainable income-generating opportunities that foster self-reliance and improve overall well-being.
Our programme is carried out in the northern province of Sri Lanka, which was devastated by the civil war, and the estate region (central province) which is home of one of Sri Lanka’s most vulnerable and marginalised groups, the Malaiyaha community. The Malaiyaha community are the descendants of the Indians brought to Sri Lanka during British colonisation to work in the tea plantations.
