Seemasahitha Samadana Samithiya

Seemasahitha Samadana Samithiya is a non-profit organization operating as a sub-recipient on federal grant awards from the US Agency for International Development, focused on anti-trafficking and safe-migration programming in Sri Lanka. The vendor has received three federal sub-awards totaling $261 thousand, all funded through USAID, and operates exclusively as a sub-recipient rather than as a prime grantee or prime contractor.

Seemasahitha Samadana Samithiya works within coalition structures anchored by prime grantees. Under the Safe Foundation, the organization serves as a partner in the Empowering Communities to Counter Trafficking (ECCT) project, which operates across twelve districts in six Sri Lankan provinces. The ECCT sub-award received in February 2024 represents the vendor's most recent award. An earlier Safe Foundation sub-award dated September 2022 focused on safe migration and trafficking in persons programming in the Kandy and Nuwara-Eliya districts of Sri Lanka's central province, targeting low-income estate communities at risk of labor trafficking and irregular migration. A third sub-award from July 2022, under prime grantee Global Communities, Inc., supported youth and women's organization capacity building.

The vendor's footprint is geographically concentrated and programmatically narrow. All three awards come from USAID and address human trafficking and migrant-worker protection in Sri Lanka through grassroots community engagement, civil-society network development, and awareness and capacity-building activities. Activity has been light — two awards in 2022, one in 2024 — reflecting the sub-recipient role and the specialized, regional focus of the programming rather than broad-scale federal contracting. The vendor operates within larger coalition networks rather than as an independent implementing organization.
