The Livelihoods Program has been set up in co-ordination with Project Galle 05.  This programme hopes to provide grants to beneficiaries planning to start up new businesses. The scheme is already underway in the Galle region, and Friends of Unawatuna have provided funds for Project Galle to expand to cover Unawatuna. 

Already livelihoods identified have included tea shops, batik dyers, fruit stalls, beauty parlours, wood carvers and communication centres, jewellery makers and gardeners.  There are 114 projects identified so far that Friends of Unawatuna have agreed to fund, Project Galle 05 will manage and coordinate the Programme.
