📈 SLI Life and General Support Cyclone 'Ditwah' Relief
State-owned insurance giants, Sri Lanka Insurance Life (SLICLL) and Sri Lanka Insurance General (SLICGI), have mobilized resources to support national recovery following the devastating 'Ditwah' cyclone. • Relief Contribution: A financial donation, raised through voluntary employee contributions across both organizations, was formally handed over to Treasury Secretary Dr. Harshana Suriyapperuma at the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development. • Disaster Response: Beyond the financial aid, the entities implemented a multi-pronged relief strategy, including: • Distribution of dry ration packs to affected families. • An island-wide clean-up and restoration program to facilitate community recovery. • Economic Context: As key state-owned enterprises (SOEs), the move underscores the role of the insurance sector in national disaster resilience and social responsibility, complementing their core mandate of risk coverage. • Corporate Commitment: The initiative reflects a coordinated effort between the financial services sector and the government to mitigate the impact of natural disasters on the national economy and community welfare. _Data based on official reports from the Ministry of Finance and SLIC._
