In our ongoing mission to look after our farmers, the Firstlight project seeks to give them further help with the provision of rain guards. In the Kegalle district, we distributed 7000 rain guards amongst 40 farmers.
This will greatly benefit them as Kegalle is a rainy district that stops farmers from extracting the full potential out of the rubber trees. Therefore with the use of rain guards, farmers will be able to maximize the amount they earn from selling latex.
This is a small change for the farmers but provides them with a big improvement to their standard of living which is the goal of Firstlight.
