In the heart of Kurunegala, Ruvini Ginawardena epitomizes resilience as a single mother supporting her four children. Her primary source of income stems from her skill in sewing, crafting products that she hopes to sell in local markets. However, the lack of resources, particularly an overlock machine, impedes her ability to achieve the quality needed to command better prices in the market.
Ruvini's aspiration is not only to sustain her family but also to provide them with better opportunities for the future. With an overlock machine, she envisions enhancing the finish of her products, thereby increasing their market value. This seemingly small addition to her toolkit could significantly impact her ability to generate a sustainable income and improve her family's quality of life.
Ruvini's story echoes the essence of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, which aims to promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all. By supporting Ruvini's endeavor, we at AFI Corp Pvt. Ltd. not only contribute to her economic empowerment but also to the broader societal goal of fostering sustainable livelihoods.
As part of our corporate social responsibility initiative, we have identified Ruvini's need as an opportunity to make a tangible difference in her life and the lives of her children. Through the provision of an overlock machine, we aim to equip Ruvini with the means to enhance her productivity, improve the quality of her products, and ultimately, uplift her economic standing.
Join us in championing Ruvini's journey towards self-sufficiency and empowerment, in line with UN SDG Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth. Together, we can create meaningful impact, one individual and one family at a time.
