Environment Management

The sustainability of the rural environment is fundamental to the development of the village as part of a global community. Thus the work of our environment management programme focuses on:

• recycling
• establishing home gardens- to date 25 gardens have been established, including 5 with Children's Goodness Club children
• home garden at Balapitiya Girl's Orphanage
• clean-ups
• raising awareness of local environment
• tree planting to replenish foliage and protect vulnerable coastal areas and inland waterways
• Bio-gas as an alternative fuel for cooking

Local children enjoy the produce
of their home garden

We are currently trying to develop a project to recycle materials collected in the region to supply the manufacturing industries including paper pulp, plastics and glass, as there is currently no process for transforming waste into useful material in southern Sri Lanka.

We are also hoping that the Foundation of Goodness will be able to move its electricity supply to solar power, and are currently developing a proposal to put this into place, subject to feasibility study and funding support.
