Digitally Building Sri Lanka Through Youth Power
D-Force trains and connects Sri Lankan youth to support rural businesses, promote local products, build digital skills, and create real income opportunities.
“Our mission is to bring rural products, creators, and businesses into the digital economy.”
The Digital Challenge in Sri Lanka
Traditional business models are locked out of the modern economy, while talented rural youth face limited job opportunities.
Digital Divide in Villages
Rural micro-sellers have high-quality traditional products but do not know how to set up Facebook pages, WhatsApp catalogs, or online payments.
Limited Market Reach
Local artisans and farmers are forced to sell to middlemen at extremely low rates because they cannot reach customers in Colombo or abroad.
Youth Unemployment
Talented school leavers and university students in districts lack modern career paths and remote freelancing options.
Skills Not Reaching Rural Areas
Practical digital tools like Canva, AI content builders, and Meta advertising courses are mostly concentrated in urban centers.
