During hervisit to Sri Lanka, she travelled 75 kilometers awayfrom the capital city Colombo to Lower Garagodain Yatiyanthota which is located in Kegalle District.This is where the story of Berendina begins. LowerGaragoda is a small village where the communitywas living in poverty. Most of the villagers wereengaged in unproductive trading and subsistencefarming which was insufficient for them to fulfilltheir basic needs. Mrs. Eva Mudalige, an Englishteacher who was also a resident of the village was adedicated social worker in uplifting the communityfrom poverty just like Mrs. Borst. Occasionally, Mrs.Borst met Mrs. Eva Mudalige and became closefriends.

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGEEncountering challenges are conventional for ablooming organization like Berendina DevelopmentServices (BDS) since its inception in 2005. Just like thenation had to undergo the unprecedented upheavalCOVID-19 pandemic situation, BDS also confrontedsignificant challenges in its routine operations in 2020due to the pandemic.We, as a well-established organization thrive topromote social justice, diversity, equity and inclusioninside our organization, in the communities weserve, thus ensuring that empowered communitieslead productive and dignified lives in sustainableenvironments with freedom, equality and protectionwhich is the ultimate aim of BDS.12Berendina Development Services (Guarantee) Limited Annual Report 2020
CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGESri Lanka was extremely vulnerable to the spread ofCOVID-19 due to many reasons including severe declinein the tourism industry. The Government of Sri Lankahas implemented strict measures to curb the spread of thedisease, and island-wide travel restrictions and isolationareas haven been imposed. According to the Central Bankof Sri Lanka, reflecting the adverse impacts related to theCOVID-19 pandemic, the GDP at constant market prices(constant prices) contracted by 3.6 per cent, recording Rs.9,530.6 billion in 2020, compared to the growth of 2.3 percent in 2019. The unemployment rate increased to 5.5 percent in 2020 from 4.8 per cent recorded in 2019 primarilydue to the adverse impact of COVID-19 pandemic.The COVID-19 pandemic had an unprecedented impacton the labour market. Especially the pandemic affectedthe deep-rooted work routines and cultures due tothe precautionary and containment measures taken tocombat the spread of the pandemic, which restricted theperformance of work in the usual working environment.Accordingly, work from home (WFH), flexible hours androster systems were adopted on a broad basis. The economyof BDS constituency i.e low income and vulnerable people inrural and plantation areas lost their income due to multipleeffects of the pandemic. BDS supported more than 85,000families by providing financial assistance of over Rs. 100million to recover from livelihood and provision of dry rationpacks to the affected communities including EconomicallyInactive Poor (EIP) families. We also supported the healthworkers by providing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)and other emerging needs to the Intermediate Care Centers(ICCs) and hospitals to manage the crisis. All these workwas undertaken despite many challenges faced by the staffregarding travel restrictions and prolonged lockdowns.The five-year strategy of BDS ended in the year 2019. Thefirst half of the year 2020 was devoted for the developmentof the next strategy. Pertaining to the developed strategy,BDS is intending to diverge its operations across six districtswhere our associate company is in function as a strategicdirection of cost cutting and better productivity in itsperformance. The new strategy 2021 - 2025 of BDS broughta change in its approach having a significant shift from‘need based’ to a’ right based’ having greater involvementof community mobilization, empowerment, participationand ownership to development interventions. This strategicshift brought the need of changing staff roles. The BDS staffwas capacitated on the new job roles in preparing them forthe implementation of the new strategy.As a part of the Berendina Group’s corporate governanceand financial restructuring process, 75% of BDS stake inBMIC was converted in to class “A” shares, which do notcarry the dividend rights and sold it to Berendina Stichting,the main founder and main donor of Berendina work inSri Lanka. Accordingly, BDS will benefit 100% of dividendrights, ensuring that the profits earned by BMIC will beutilized in Sri Lanka to uplift the living standards of thepoor and vulnerable communities while maintaining a 25%of BMIC legal ownership of BMIC.Amidst the wavering situation, our stupendous partnersand stakeholders have braced us to achieve a step higherthan our expectations. BDS partnered with HSBC, PlanInternational-German, Asia Community Trust, AsiaFoundation, British Council, Ministry of Hill Country andthe TESCO.I thank our founder and main funder, Berendina Stichting(BS) in the Netherlands for upholding us. It is with theimmense effort of the board members of BS, BDS has beendeploying its operations in a effective and a sustainableapproach. Their valuable contribution has nurtured ourstaff to prosper and commitfor a better future. Finally, I thank most sincerely, all ourcommunities, stakeholders and partners, governmentauthorities, sponsors, donors and the staff for their supportand encouragement for another productive year undermany challenges.Mr. Anura H.
