At Sthree, our key priority is work towards economically empowering women and persons with disability by providing support to entrepreneurs in marketing, sales and income generation.
Our goal is to provide our customers with unique, value added, products that are high in quality and cause minimal damage to the environment. That is why all our products are intricately handmade made by our artisans.
Entrepreneurs are provided with the technical know hows in product development, design and quality so that entrepreneurs are able to market and sell their products globally.
We not only develop capacities of existing entrepreneurs but also focus on engaging women from around Sri Lanka through the Women’s Development Center in promoting women economic empowerment and encouraging the active participation of women in the local economy by supporting women to live beyond gender stereotypes.
