Our Foundation

People's Livelihood Development Foundation was established in 2016 as a Voluntary Social Service/NGO under National Secretariat for Non-Governmental Organizations under Registration No. L-156901.

Our Mission

The MAATHA Program was initiated and led by Medical Officers, Entrepreneurs, Economists, Media Professionals and other professionals who came together to provide their social responsibility by sharing knowledge, skills and mentoring.

Our Vision

We strongly believe that the development of a country depends on the well-being of its citizens. The development of the village and its people shows the prosperity of a country.

Join the Maatha Programme – A Call to Action for the Nation

The Maatha Programme was initiated with a deep sense of duty — our duty as Sri Lankans to our beloved motherland, which is facing decline day by day. We believe that every Sri Lankan shares responsibility for the challenges our nation faces and that rebuilding our country is not difficult when we all unite with sincerity and without hidden agendas.

"When each Grama Niladhari Division develops independently, the whole of Sri Lanka develops naturally."
