What is Sarvodaya

History of the Sarvodaya Development Finance (SDF)

Sarvodaya Development Finance(SDF), was established by Sri Lanka’s oldest continuing social movement, the Sarvodaya Sharamadana Movement. The purpose was to support underserved rural economies and grass roots entrepreneurism in Sri Lanka, that represented communities deemed ‘non-bankable’ by formal financial institutions. As the financial arm of the Sarvodaya Movement, SDF is the only finance company in Sri Lanka owned by a charity and is the first dedicated development finance institution in Sri Lanka. SDF is also one of the oldest Micro credit institutions in Sri Lanka and is the first formal financial institution to channel private sector investments into low and mid-income groups in the country.
