🇱🇰 Minor Hotels Expands 'Dollars for Deeds' CSR, Partners Ayati Trust

• Minor Hotels, a major global hospitality chain, has formally launched its signature Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, 'Dollars for Deeds,' in Sri Lanka through a partnership with the Ayati Trust. • The collaboration is aimed at supporting children with disabilities, ensuring they receive equal access to education, healthcare, and social participation. • Initial Contribution: The Group marked the formal partnership by donating Rs. 5 million to the Ayati Trust and signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). • ‘Dollars for Deeds’ Structure: Guests are invited to voluntarily contribute $1 per night, which the hotel subsequently matches dollar-for-dollar to multiply the positive social outcome. • Ayati Trust, the national centre providing crucial diagnostic, therapeutic, and educational services free of charge to over 14,000 registered children, noted the timely support helps address significant running costs. • Minor Hotels stated the move aligns with their vision to extend hospitality beyond the guest experience to generate a lasting, positive influence on the communities they serve.
