Social Business

Belipola currently runs UFGP, a brand set up for fresh and processed foods. The umbrella Uva Forest Garden Products was used so that it can include other producers from the province, as Belipola reaches out to the community and helps set up PGS groups. The PGS group list from Mirahawatte, can be found below. Other information on UFGP is here.

An eco-tourism venture has also been set up with Double Sens, which is a French service tourism company. The group comes to Belipola every month for one week, doing mission in the village, school and at Belipola. All documents regarding Double Sens can be found here.

Belipola is also a training center. All workshops and trainings have an element of raising funds, by charging participants. These funds revolve back into the center to be used for further developments.
