Our commitment to her

When Sri Lankan women grow, the whole country moves forward.

LankanCart was founded by a woman who knows what it takes to begin with very little. That experience sits behind every founder who joins the programme: fair terms, real support, and a shelf her product has earned on its own merit.

  • A woman-owned or women-led business in Sri Lanka
  • A product you make, grow or produce yourself
  • A willingness to meet UAE food safety and labelling standards
  • Capacity to supply repeat orders, however small to begin with
  • An interest in growing beyond your local market
