Thank you to all our donors, we have met our fundraising goal!
Hello!
We (Aseka and Randula) pledge to run a total of 150km together over the next 29 days!
We are doing this to fundraise and spread much needed awareness for the Palmera Projects, and their Banking on Change for Good program supporting women in Theravil, Sri Lanka.
Palmera Projects provide business solutions for rural entrepreneurs of Sri Lanka, thus creating environments where families can stand on their own two feet.
Theravil (Northen Province) has long seen the cruelties of the civil war and are still recovering from the trauma of it all. Rooting from traditional values and gender norms, women are not given much opportunity to participate in economic affairs. Like many women in rural Sri Lanka, women in Theravil lack financial independence and literacy.
The Banking on Change for Good program will support 400 women develop financial literacy, independence and leadership skills through the establishment of Theravil’s first ever women’s bank.
We have chosen to do this run over 29 days to celebrate Aseka’s 29th birthday! We are hoping to raise $1000 through the generosity and kindness of our community.
Through this fundraiser, we hope to shed light on the northern rural communities’ constant struggle to be included in the country’s growth and raise awareness of the importance of the inclusive campaigns of Palmera Projects.
Thanks in advance for your support, and we will keep you updated on our progress through posts on this fb group.

IT’S THE COMPETITION YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!
Get ready to see blood, sweat and tears as our teams go head to head in the UNSW Anjali Tamil Society’s annual Oztag Competition!
This year we are proud to be supporting Palmera’s Landing a Better Future project. This project brings together 250 farmers and their families and supports them to improve their farming skills and access critical services, while creating networks of knowledge and experience. This costs as little as $475 per family; only $95 a year over the five years that we will be providing support.
Thank you to all our donors, we have met our fundraising goal!
Hi everyone!
We (Maiurei and Nila) have decided to raise money for Palmera’s Graduating the Poor project by taking 1 million steps each over the next 2 months. We have been long term supporters of Palmera all the way from London and have been helping with the Handmade cookbook distribution here.
Palmera is an organisation that has various projects set out to support those who have been affected by poverty in Sri Lanka due to the civil war. The ‘Graduating the Poor’ project aims to identify 120 of the poorest in the Kandavalli district of Killinochi, and work with them over 2 years to help them out of poverty. They ensure families have access to food and healthcare whilst also helping them build their financial resilience.
We are hoping to raise at least £750 through your generosity and compassion!!! We would like to thank you in advance for your support and will update you with our progress through our posts on our Instagram.
