Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2019, China Merchants Port Group launched the "China Merchants Silk Road Charity Village" project. The goal of this project was to select eligible poor villages and help them develop. In 2020, China Merchants Port Group selected Panila Village for the first village to support. China Merchants Charity Foundation, Hambantota International Port Group Co., Ltd. (HIPG), and Colombo International Container Terminal Co., Ltd. provided over USD 100,000 in funding to build a community center, health center, agriculture center, playground facilities as well as provide financial assistance to the village temple. On June 23, 2020, a groundbreaking ceremony was held for the "Love Village" Project in Panila, Sri Lanka. The project was completed on May 26, 2022. The project also cooperated with the Sri Lanka Agricultural University and related training institutions to provide agricultural technology training to local villagers, assist in the export of their agricultural products, realize the development of the industrial chain, and truly "teach people to fish".
