Having established its place in the travel market, Amba is now ready to support community cooperatives as a means of better spreading the income of tourism throughout the valley.

Planetree is working alongside Amba Estate by supporting the initial investment for the first community-led microenterprise that will work in partnership with Amba. Planetree’s catalyst grant covers the equipment, training and setup costs for a group of six women to formally become a chutney cooperative. The chutney will be sold back to Amba Estate for travellers to consume, as well as sold to guests and in markets throughout Sri Lanka.  travellers began visiting Amba in July 2018.
