SANASA International - Together we can make the world a better place
Welcome to SANASA International
SANASA, the largest cooperative enterprise in Sri Lanka, is nurtured by more than one million people. SANASA began its journey in 1978, with the reengineering of the Thrift and Credit Cooperative Model introduced by the colonial government in 1906, and the journey made ever since is filled with continuous innovation and growth. SANASA has a wealth of experience in inclusive development under many different regimes in Sri Lanka and therefore has numerous stories of cooperative enterprises and social enterprises to share with the world. SANASA International is seeking to learn from similar experiences from the world and we invite you to share with us your stories, the challenges you’ve faced, the innovations you’ve designed and of course your victories in inclusive development.

“As SANASA celebrates the launch of SANASA International, I would like to wish them all the very best in their future endeavors, and congratulate them on their tremendous progress in promoting financial inclusion across Sri Lanka. SANASA’s inspiring vision complements IFC’s own goal to promote inclusive growth in Sri Lanka. It is our shared goal of making financial services accessible in all regions of the country that underpins the relationship between our two organizations.”
“Warmest greetings from Ottawa, Canada.
