Gammadda had visited more than 30,000 villages in Sri Lanka, spoken to the people in those villages, documented their issues and released 04 comprehensive reports on the findings.

Since 2016, these reports mainly highlight the lack of access to clean drinking water and the human – elephant conflict as the main issue that impact the lives of rural Sri Lanka.

Based on the findings and the documented reports, the Gammadda Community upliftment projects were born across the country to bring relief to the people affected the most.

For these projects to be realized, the data collected via the Gammadda Door-to-Door initiative have proven to be of paramount importance.

The 05th Edition of the Gammadda Door-to-Door Initiative will cover all 25 districts of Sri Lanka.
