My Story

My name is G.A.nandana. In 2011, I started a small business in Polonnaruwa with pride and hope. But on March 10, 2016, a horrific fire destroyed everything I had built. My business was reduced to ashes, and the photos I took after the fire still remind me of that painful day.

After the tragedy, my vehicle was repossessed by the leasing company, leaving me with a debt of LKR 565,000. I’ve managed to pay off LKR 300,000, but I still owe LKR 265,000. My total debt now stands at around LKR 1,500,000. I tried restarting with small ventures like binder gum and ice packet businesses, but the COVID-19 pandemic and lack of capital made them unsuccessful. My wife and children left me, but I’m still fighting every day to rebuild a stable life for myself and to reunite with my family.

I currently work at a courier company, but my income isn’t enough to clear my debts and start anew. With LKR 4,000,000, I can pay off my debts and invest in a new ice packet business. By distributing 600 packets daily, I could earn a monthly income of LKR 150,000–300,000, giving me a chance to rebuild my life.
