Kapparatota is a small village in the Divisional Secretariat Division of Weligama in the Matara District. This small village was completely ruined by the tidal waves of the tsunami disaster.
The Urban Council of Weligama has been using 18 acres of land in Kapparatota area as a dump yard for the solid waste of the Weligama City. The Urban Council with the assistance of Caritas SED-Galle decided to install a garbage recycling project inclusive of a waste managing system to minimize the pollution in this city. Further it was decided to setup a model farm using 4 acres of the same land for the production of organic compost manure. Caritas SED-Galle provided more than 2,000 seeds/plants worth about Rs.45, 000/= to be grown in this land. The produce of this is to be sold to the public at the gate.
