Nagalakshmi

Head Trainer - Green Products

Nagalakshmi was in India as refugees from 1990 - 2018, fleeing the devastating Sri Lankan civil war. She comes from the Kilinochchi area and has since lived in the Sri Lankan Refugee camp in Tamil Nadu. She was only 18 years old when she came and has had to overcome many struggles in her life. During the 2004 Tsunami she helped the affected women gain income by giving them tailoring and handicraft training for more than 1,000 people. She makes bags and jewels for Serendip Boutique. Her training is very valuable to us and it also gives employment to numerous women in the rural villages.
