DFCC Aloka is a financial solution designed to empower females across Sri Lanka to achieve their career goals, business ambitions and personal dreams.
DFCC Bank, through its flagship women’s banking proposition DFCC ALOKA, continues to expand financial access for female entrepreneurs. In line with its commitment to empowering women-led businesses, DFCC Bank has successfully supported 30 female dairy farmers through the Women’s Empowerment Project in Dairy Farming, equipping them with the financial resources and skills needed to enhance milk production, animal care, and business operations.
The initiative, conducted in collaboration with Fonterra, brought together DFCC ALOKA and key industry stakeholders to address critical challenges faced by female dairy farmers. Officials from the Ministry of Livestock, Lands, and Irrigation, the Department of Animal Production and Health, and private sector representatives engaged in discussions on improving access to financial support, modernizing farming techniques, and strengthening market opportunities for women-led dairy businesses. The event underscored the role of public-private partnerships in equipping female entrepreneurs with the tools needed to build financially stable and sustainable agribusinesses.
Through DFCC ALOKA, female dairy farmers benefit from a comprehensive suite of financial solutions tailored to their unique needs. These include working capital facilities to ensure smooth day-to-day operations, preferential loan rates designed to ease financial burdens, and business advisory services that provide hands-on guidance for strategic growth. Farmers also gain access to digital banking tools that streamline financial management, making transactions more efficient and helping them make informed financial decisions. By integrating financial literacy programs alongside these offerings, DFCC ALOKA ensures that women in the dairy sector have both the knowledge and resources to sustain and expand their businesses successfully.
DFCC Bank invites women in dairy farming to explore how DFCC ALOKA can help them expand their businesses. With customised financial solutions and ongoing advisory support, the Bank remains committed to enabling women to thrive in their industries.
