IODR's Community Welfare and Education Centre has been designed and built with local labour and local materials from sustainably managed sources and sympathetic to the local environment.

There are a number of key outputs from the work of IODR in Weligama and elsewhere in the Indian Ocean region. The solar energy and waste systems provide an opportunity for reducing pollution and other environmental harm and further the opportunity for donors to offset their carbon footprints caused by environmentally negative operations elsewhere in the world with a counterbalancing positive environmental impact.

Carbon emissions can be offset by the solar power and other systems which IODR are installing in the Indian Ocean region in orphanages, schools and community buildings, producing clean energy where polluting wasteful and more environmentally harmful processes might otherwise be used.

The IODR Community Welfare Education Centre in Sri Lanka is a community focused project allowing businesses and individuals to engage in building capacity in a community ravaged by the short, medium and long term damage resultant from the 2004 Tsunami. They can engage in offsetting carbon emissions by contributing to IODR's work, installing clean energy heating and water systems and replacing environmentally harmful systems which utilise fossil and other fuels. IODR are aiming to meet all the criteria to achieve the Gold Standard for carbon credits.

Providing an opportunity for donations to a range of good causes, from educational, housing, medical and other needs and with opportunities to engage in a wide variety of ways, including volunteering and carbon offsets, the IODR, together with medical resource, can assist with diverse corporate social responsibility schemes.
