Building A Future Foundation is a non-profit organisation which aims at improving the living conditions of underprivileged population depending on the resources of the ocean through capacity building, empowerment and economic self-sufficiency with an environmental, social and sustainable approach. Pursuing its objective of reintroducing sails in Sri Lanka, BAF developed innovative double powered fishing boats intended to be replicated at large scale in other coastal regions of the world affected by overfishing close to the shore. BAF also aims at creating a sailing culture in the island by initiating a yachting industry from boat building, sails and masts making,… to mini -marina creation and chartering services through social entrepreneurship and North-South cooperation.

The Building A Future Foundation puts the seeds for the yachting industry in Sri Lanka: youtu.be/PzX0IvEthyYThe Building A Future puts the seeds to the Yachting Industry in Sri Lanka.
Building A Future.BE is proud to announce that the King Baudouin Foundation of Belgium supports its new project of creation of a boat building training centre in the Northern part of Sri Lanka, Poonakari. A region that was severely affected by the civil war from 1983 to 2009. The aim is to train 10 youths year 1, 10 youths year 2 and at term 30 Tamil youths per year and to provide them a sustainable employment with the development of the yachting industry in this remote and untapped tropical region. The idea is to reproduce in the North the same successful model that the Building A Future Foundation has materialised on the Southern coast of the island with the creation of hundreds of employment for local youth in the yachting industry. Today Building A Future.BE is looking for donations to build the training center and to equip the workshops.
