Sarvajana Trust Launches to Boost Grassroots Entrepreneurship 📈

• The Sarvajana Trust, an independent fund dedicated to empowering women and youth, officially launched last week in Colombo. • Led by Principal Trustee MP Dilith Jayaweera and supported by Sarvajana Balaya, the Trust aims to build an "entrepreneurial nation" focused on creating wealth and economic independence for Sri Lankans. • Core Mechanism: The Trust will provide aspiring entrepreneurs with access to crucial funding, mentorship, and essential resources. • Grassroots Focus: Support will be channelled directly to those most in need at the grassroots level through the established Sarvajana Sabha framework at the local government level. • MP Jayaweera stated the focus is on "converting liabilities into assets" by mobilising the country's human capital and setting the stage for an entrepreneurial state, moving away from conventional politics. • Trustees underscored a strong commitment to transparency, governance, and accountability in the disbursement of funds to deserving community members.
