Wer organisiert das Projekt?

This project is actively working for SDG 1 (No poverty) and SDGs 02 (Zero hunger), organized together with Green Volunteers for Green Future (GV4GF) since 2012 (since 2020 we are working here but Kumaragama is first time). Higurakgoda is a settlement, established in 1956, under the government development plan. Families brought to here from different parts of Sri Lanka and asked them to settle here while doing paddy farming. Different parts of Sri Lanka have different kind of sub cultures. In here all of them are mixed and emerge a new sub culture. Now 3rd generation is living here with their 2nd generation parents. During the 21st century, technology is changed rapidly but it is not reached to these areas because of language barrier, unawareness, narrow perspectives and so on. As a country, everyone should be a part of countryÔÇÖs development process but unfortunately these rural communities are somehow rejected by the administration. But actually, communitiesÔÇÖ active participation is essential to overcome the burdens and to establish a just society. Some families are doing other activities to live. Making bags, packeting spices, maintain plant nurseries are among them. We are working closely with paddy farmers as well as other families who have no lands to do agriculture too.

Arbeit

The project consists of two parts. First three days we are supporting domestic-level level small-scale income-generating activities for the selected 2 or 3 families in the village. Second four days we moved around villages to meet members of the women’s group/members of the self-help group, kindergarten, youths, etc., and share volunteer stories and cultures with family/ village youths/village level organizations members while supporting to do their daily work. On the last day morning volunteers visit the village kindergarten/village temple/church /Kovil.

Unterkunft und Verpflegung

Volunteers are going to stay at a village house with limited facilities. Electricity, clean drinking water, beds, pillows, and toilets are available. The Internet facility is good. But no Wi-Fi. Clothes can be washed by hand and can be hung outside to dry.

Lage und Freizeit

Located at 134 km from Colombo. This is a rural area and is located among mountains. 620 m above sea level. People mainly depend on agriculture. It is close to ancient kingdoms called Kandy (24 km). This area has beautiful landscapes, mountains, ancient temples etc. Some tea plantations and man-made forest plots also can be seen here.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

This project is actively working for SDG 1 (No poverty) and SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), organized together with Green Volunteers for Green Future (GV4GF) since 2012 (since 2023 in this place!). The total area was a tea plantation until Independence (in 1948) and after that government took the administration. Some parts were abandoned and some parts were distributed among people. This is a kind of traditional village; some families have been living here for more than 100 years. Agriculture and Tea plantations are the main livelihoods in this area. People who have no lands to cultivate are engaging in other livelihoods such as packing and distribute spices, mushroom plantations, etc. Very few people are working in the city or for government. This area is not a popular destination among the locals or foreigners because of the difficulty in accessing common facilities.

This area has beautiful landscapes, mountains, ancient temples etc. Some tea plantations and man-made forest plots also can be seen here.

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

This project is actively working for SDG 1 (No poverty) and SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), organized together with Green Volunteers for Green Future (GV4GF) since 2012 (since 2023 in this place!). The total area was a tea plantation until Independence (in 1948) and after that government took the administration. Some parts were abandoned and some parts were distributed among people. This is a kind of traditional village; some families have been living here for more than 100 years. Agriculture and Tea plantations are the main livelihoods in this area. People who have no lands to cultivate are engaging in other livelihoods such as packing and distribute spices, mushroom plantations, etc. Very few people are working in the city or for government. This area is not a popular destination among the locals or foreigners because of the difficulty in accessing common facilities.

Lage und Freizeit

Located 114 km (and 157 km via Gampola) from Colombo. This is a rural area and is located among mountains. 590 m above sea level. People are mainly tea plantation workers working at the tea factories. Few families depend on agriculture, especially on black pepper and vegetable cultivation. It is close to two ancient kingdoms called Gampola (17 km) and Kandy (46 km). This area has beautiful landscapes, mountains, ancient temples, etc. Cardamom and Vanilla are also common crops here. Some big houses, constructed by British officers as well as rich people who lived here can be seen.

During the development of hydropower projects in the nearby area, many lost their properties and were relocated to this area. Tea plantation is the lifeline of most people and still, some people work in fields. There are 3 tea factories still functioning. Very few people are working in the city or for the government. This area is not a popular destination among the locals or foreigners because of the difficulty in accessing common facilities. We got an opportunity to discuss with an officer who coordinates livelihood development activities of the village to the regional secretariat office and he suggested we visit and have programs with villagers.

Lage und Freizeit

Higurakgoda. 256km from Colombo, suburb of Polonnaruwa, the second ancient kingdom in Sri Lanka and declared as a world heritage site. Many people depend on paddy farming and it is low population density area for Sri Lanka (122 people/ km2).

Wer organisiert das Projekt?

This project is actively working for SDG 1 (No poverty) and SDGs 02 (Zero hunger), organized together with Green Volunteers for Green Future (GV4GF) since 2012 (since 2020 we are working here but Kumaragama is first time). Higurakgoda is a settlement, established in 1956, under the government development plan. Families brought to here from different parts of Sri Lanka and asked them to settle here while doing paddy farming. Different parts of Sri Lanka have different kind of sub cultures. In here all of them are mixed and emerge a new sub culture. Now 3rd generation is living here with their 2nd generation parents. During the 21st century, technology is changed rapidly but it is not reached to these areas because of language barrier, unawareness, narrow perspectives and so on. As a country, everyone should be a part of country’s development process but unfortunately these rural communities are somehow rejected by the administration. But actually, communities’ active participation is essential to overcome the burdens and to establish a just society. Some families are doing other activities to live. Making bags, packeting spices, maintain plant nurseries are among them. We are working closely with paddy farmers as well as other families who have no lands to do agriculture too.
