THE Women’s International Foundation (WIF), in collaboration with Aviraté, hosted the “Invest in Her” Award Ceremony, celebrating the resilience, innovation, and potential of Sri Lanka’s MSME women entrepreneurs.

Over the past three months, proceeds from every Aviraté sale were dedicated to empowering women entrepreneurs with digital tools and market access opportunities. This unique collaboration highlights a shared vision: to create inclusive economic opportunities and strengthen women’s leadership in business.

At the ‘Invest in Her’ Award Ceremony, held on 29 August at the Timex Garments Auditorium, members of both WIF and Aviraté joined award recipients and their families to celebrate and honour seven extraordinary women entrepreneurs from the WIF network.

Two inspiring women entrepreneurs were awarded essential digital tools to accelerate their business growth and included, Madu Costa from Ma’s de Costa Ltd, a micro food manufacturer and retailer and Dilhani Kodithuwakku from Lochi Garments, specialising in bags and fashion accessories.
