Eat Right (Pvt) Ltd, one of Sri Lanka’s pioneering health food restaurants also found themselves rethinking their business during the pandemic.
Starting with something as simple, yet as essential as bread, Eat Right transformed their platform to include daily essentials that were hygienically and promptly delivered to Colombo and the suburbs. Eat Right thereafter created an an e-commerce platform that would bridge the gap between the producer and the consumer. One of the most notable projects was when Eat Right undertook to ensure that Avurudhu celebrations were not dampened by the lockdown by creating sweetmeat baskets sourced from local vendors and delivering it to those who needed a little bit of celebration.
“We started working mainly with home-based or small businesses who were finding it difficult to sell their products. It started with essential goods but eventually evolved to other products as well”, notes Minoli Peiris, Managing Director of Eat Right.
The Eat Right team together with their customers and contributors from around the world launched a “Gift a Meal” campaign online where customers could “buy” a meal for as many homeless individuals as they could afford.
Through generous contributions Eat Right was able to feed hundreds of the homeless and also provide them with other essentials like clothes and sanitary products.
Accordingly, Eat Right will list out care homes for children, elders and differently-abled on their website with the requirements at each facility.
Customers then have the ability to donate funds which will be transformed to the goods required by Eat Right and supplied to the relevant care home. This ensures transparency and that the money reaches those who need it the most.
