Overview of Community
Over twenty years ago, while engaging with farmers and working closely within their communities, Cargills identified these growing disparities between urban and rural Sri Lanka as an area in which we had an important role to play. Since then, Cargills has implemented an integrated approach towards community development that promotes balanced growth and improved quality of life across these communities. Our focus has included both material sufficiency as well as non-economic aspects such as education and women’s empowerment in an effort to create durable foundations for community development.
