Empowering Women for Economic Growth: A Transformative Workshop in Nachchikalliya

On December 4, 2024, the Lanka Mangrove Museum extended its mission beyond environmental conservation by organizing a transformative workshop aimed at empowering women in Nachchikalliya, Kalpitiya. This initiative, which focused on fostering entrepreneurial skills, particularly in the culinary sector, marks a significant milestone in the museum’s commitment to community development and sustainable livelihoods.

The workshop was designed to equip participants with practical and entrepreneurial skills, providing a dual approach: hands-on cooking lessons and comprehensive business training. By blending these elements, the program aimed to inspire and prepare women to launch and manage their own culinary businesses, thereby promoting both personal growth and economic independence.
