SLIIN looking for its first microenterpise development project

SMEs are growth engine of the economy. More than 70 % of employees in Sri Lanka engaged in informal sector. There are thousands of cottage businesses provide life line to peoples around it. In fact, there are innovators who do not have adequate capital to initiate their ideas into practice. Therefore, SLIIN is focusing on supporting micro-entrepreneurs in Sri Lanka who already established a business having future prospect and would eager to expand it into next level. Further, SLIIN will give special attention to women micro-entrepreneurs. Our focus is predominately for economic development in marginalized localities. With the experience of founder Navindra Liyanaarachchi in development sector, SLIIN looking to raise low cost funding pool for finance emerging micro entrepreneurs in marginalized segments.

SLIIN will not work independently in selected areas. We will seek the co-operation of Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and Self Helped Groups (SHGs) already established in the area to reach out to target segments. SLIIN believes people’s organization’s formed by themselves for address their own needs will provide great platform for reach out to desired individuals. We will give priority to Co-operatives and Mutuals but not restricted to it. SLIIN is respecting internationally accepted cooperative principles and values. We believe co-operatives are self-governed as well as regulated by direct law. This will support SLIIN to work transparently under regulated environment.

Therefore, we would be happy to invite Impact Investors and funding agencies to networking with us to engaged in this worthy cause with great social returns.

Thank you.
