N2  - Poor people living in slum and shanty settlements in the city  of Colombo are mainly engaged in the informal sector activities  which has become an inseparable part of the urban lite. Almost all the little income they earn is spent on food and it is very difficult for them to afford other essential requirements like  health, education facilities, and housing. The solution is to  raise their income levels which will affect all other conditions.  For this, employment with better incomes has been recommended   as a two-level program. firstly, individual enterprise which  currently exist as informal sector activities is fostered by  providing facilities in credit , skill training , and marketing  outlets . Secondly, cooperative enterprise is proposed as a  settlement enterprise which the shanty dwellers have to take  active roles
