The Ninthavur cooperative society has over 75 members, most of whom were affected by the tsunami. Some lost jobs when the boats they worked on were damaged or destroyed, others lost nets and boats that they owned themselves.
The Sri Lanka Red Cross Society and the International Federation helped to set up the beach shop as part of the Red Cross post-tsunami livelihoods programme. The Red Cross provided 30,000 rupees as a grant for the shop and associated livelihoods project.
Five such fisheries cooperative societies have been established in Ampara district. The profits from the shop supplement a project that provides livelihoods assistance to members and vulnerable families in the Ninthavur Division. Photo: International Federation (p16917)
