Partnerships stories
Vadiveel Selvarathy (right) had a new harvest of the “red lady” papayas in Sri Lanka’s Northern Province. A civil war survivor, she began to grow papayas a few years ago with the support from the Empowerment through Economic Development (LEED) Project. Vadiveel’s family now lives a decent life thanks to the stable income generated from the papayas.
The ILO LEED project funded by the Australian Government has helped conflict-affected communities rebuild their lives in Northern Sri Lanka by creating sustainable jobs, providing community-based services and forging public-private partnerships.
