Project: Help Re-Establish Small Business in Unawatuna
Project Founder: Charlotte Eaton
Project Co-ordinator: Majella Tarbatt
 Unawatuna
When Majella revisited Unawatuna a few months after the Tsunami hit, she realised that the focus needed to shift to funding longer-term initiatives, which would help locals to be self- sufficient. On this second visit, Majella met with Charlotte Eaton, who had set about helping local entrepreneurs re-establish their businesses. Majella, together with Charlotte and Annie Walsh, set up the Small Business Association of Unawatuna with the aim of providing funds to locals to regenerate their businesses.
The scheme has been expanded to include the reestablishment of small businesses in the Galle province as well.
