We, PWB is a volunteer organization that works towards creating a resilient economy and ensuring a prosperous life for every citizen in Sri Lanka. The organization is a company that guarantees the deployment of any profits back into the same purpose.

We are working towards uplifting six of identified primary industries which need assistance in product development with new designs and innovation to match the current market demands.

PWB will lead in product development, set production processes, environments and labour standards for each industry and act as a quality assurance body that ensures the sustainability of each Industry.

We all should admit that Sri Lanka has not seen its full potential and, in any area, we can be far better with our unique value proposition in people and land. Whilst we understand the downfall in the education system and not being able to build an entrepreneurial culture of innovation and creativity, we cannot blame anyone but ourselves. At the same time, we have no right to pass the burden to the next generation and watch it fail.

Our initiative was borne out of seeing so many micro and small businesses with genuinely good products but who are not able to achieve their highest potential. To this effect we decided to focus on six industries that we felt had the most opportunity. We have been approaching the relevant ministries in the current government seeking opportunity to share our knowledge and skills voluntarily. One of our proposals is already under evaluation by the Ministry of Clay, Brass, Furniture and Small Industries. We are currently attempting to share our proposals with the Ministry of Handloom, Batik and Local Apparel.

PWB PWB is all about networking professionals all over the country who are willing to go an extra mile to serve the nation beyond their professional boundaries. They voluntarily serve the nation collectively with the state, non-governmental organizations and communities.

Apart from Product Development Initiative, following are the other areas we are working on:

Entrepreneurship Development - We take the initiative to create a platform where the entrepreneurs get access to professionals from different fields to assist them in their pathway to achieve success.

Authentic Tourism - We are working to create a memorable experience of authentic tourism, preserve and conserve natural resources and the heritage of the country with the object of exposing outsiders to authentic experiences.

Sustainability - We are making the effort to design the commercial products of the country to enhance their value while preserving the humanity involved in them throughout its process.

Education - We are taking the initiative to develop blueprints for schools and pre-schools to be on par with this new thinking pattern.

Strengthening Agriculture - We believe that Agriculture needs to be prioritized to make Sri Lanka economically strong. Value addition to existing agricultural products, balancing the demand and supply, and introducing technology is our focus.

PWB OUR KEY BRANDS/INITIATIVES

Re-Design Sri Lanka Re-design Sri Lanka is a continuous action-based program stimulating the nationals of Sri Lanka to create a resilient and a sustainable nation. The program will function as the engine in driving the nation towards development where the participants will be stimulated to use their creativity with a humanized approach. Re-design Sri Lanka is also a breeding ground for new ideas for all Sri Lankans who are committed to collectively act towards long-term survival of the entire society. The program is multifaceted to achieve the core objective with a holistic view in the process to make Sri Lanka a land like no other.

Api Witharamai Api Wage “Api witharamai api wage” is a “personality” that can be attributed to any subset of Sri Lankan society. Re-design Sri Lanka is the pathway to create a unique brand for each individual of Sri Lanka who takes the initiative in creating a sustainable and resilient nation
