Our future plans include:

• Setting up three new craft workshops and training centres, together with a co-operative of at least 100 women for each, in different locations throughout southern Sri Lanka 
• Providing financial and operational support for these centres and their co-operatives until they become self-sufficient 
• Supplying crafts women with basic but essential personal equipment such as spectacles and craft materials such as pillows, bobbins, pins and thread.
• Providing home improvement grants to home workers. In addition to damage caused by the Tsunami, the homes of many lace makers lack basic facilities which makes working in them extremely arduous and difficult.
• Expanding the project to bring in other craft workers, such a embroiderers, dyers, weavers and printmakers into the project to assist in more areas and create a wider range of products that can be preserved, developed and sold
• Creating a small core team in both the UK and Sri Lanka to manage and implement developments in the work of Power of Hands Foundation
