Who We Are

An incorporated association dedicated to Sri Lankan communities

Sustainable NE Inc. is a NSW-incorporated association affiliated to SLS Trust, Sri Lanka. Working to uplift vulnerable families and build brighter, more self-sufficient futures across Sri Lanka. Based in Sydney with trusted partners on the ground, we focus on programs that foster independence rather than reliance on ongoing aid.

We believe that long-term transformation comes from investing in people: equipping them with skills, resources and opportunities that outlast any single project. From vocational training and student sponsorships to disaster response and Tamil language preservation, every initiative is designed to leave communities stronger than we found them.

What We Do

Four pillars that drive real change

Each program is designed around a specific need, backed by local partnerships and measured by outcomes that matter to the communities we serve.

Pillar One

Livelihood Support

Helping families build stable incomes through vocational training, small business grants, sewing programs and agricultural support. Self-sufficiency is the goal; every project is designed to remove the need for ongoing aid.
