AIA Insurance Partners with HelpAge Sri Lanka to Fund Cataract Surgeries

AIA Insurance has joined forces with HelpAge Sri Lanka, emphasizing its commitment to improving the lives of those in need. This partnership has resulted in the sponsorship of 10 cataract surgeries for underprivileged patients, providing them with the invaluable gift of sight. Cataract surgery is a transformative procedure that not only restores vision but also enhances quality of life, empowering individuals to regain their independence and actively contribute to their families and communities.

This initiative stems from AIA’s AIA Piyavara Pooja, Sri Lanka’s first crowdsourced digital thorana (pandol), held during the Vesak festival. The event encouraged Sri Lankans to commit to healthier living habits, such as walking, while simultaneously contributing to a greater cause. Each pledge made during the event directly funded the cataract surgeries through HelpAge Sri Lanka. By linking personal health with social responsibility, AIA underscores its dedication to enhancing individual well-being while uplifting those in need.

AIA believes that true success is defined by the positive impact it creates in the lives of others. By collaborating with HelpAge Sri Lanka, the company extends its support beyond financial assistance, making a tangible difference for those who require it most. This initiative aligns with AIA’s ongoing mission to help Sri Lankans live healthier, longer, and better lives.
