Corporate donation strengthens Rebuilding Sri Lanka fund for cyclone relief
First Capital Holdings PLC has made a significant contribution to the ‘Rebuilding Sri Lanka’ fund, donating Rs. 15 million to support communities impacted by the recent cyclone Ditwah. The fund aims to provide immediate relief, rehabilitation, and long-term support to affected areas across the country.
The donation was formally presented at the Presidential Secretariat by Dilshan Weerasekara, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of First Capital Holdings PLC, to Dr. Nandika Sanath Kumanayake, Secretary to the President. The gesture underscores the company’s commitment to corporate social responsibility and community support in times of crisis.
Board members of First Capital Holdings, including Randinith Madanayake and Diluni Dhanushika, were also present during the cheque handover, reflecting strong organizational support for humanitarian initiatives.
This contribution is part of a broader push to mobilize resources for disaster relief and recovery in Sri Lanka. By donating to the ‘Rebuilding Sri Lanka’ fund, First Capital Holdings demonstrates how corporate entities can play a pivotal role in strengthening community resilience and addressing urgent humanitarian needs.
The fund, established shortly after cyclone Ditwah struck, has become a key mechanism for channeling support to affected families and infrastructure projects. Donations like First Capital Holdings’ Rs. 15 million allocation help accelerate reconstruction efforts and provide essential assistance where it is most needed.
Through initiatives like these, corporate stakeholders not only provide immediate relief but also encourage broader private sector participation in rebuilding Sri Lanka’s communities, contributing to sustainable recovery and resilience.
