A collaborative project between Lanka Social Ventures (LSV) and the British Council Sri Lanka to design and deliver a training programme providing technical support for 15 green entrepreneurs

This project aimed to enable and empower a group of at least 15 young entrepreneurs in Sri Lanka, aged 18-35, working in sectors such as agro-processing, food and beverage, tourism, and retail/wholesale/warehousing from various regions across the country. Its goal was to drive sustainable change, helping these entrepreneurs transition their businesses into environmentally responsible and socially inclusive enterprises, fostering a future where economic growth aligns with environmental stewardship and social equity.
