In an effort to provide emergency relief to the most vulnerable communities across the country impacted by the ongoing economic crisis, Sunshine Holdings PLC pledged their support to the ‘Manudam Mehewara’ humanitarian programme initiated by Dialog Axiata PLC, MAS Holdings, Hemas Holdings PLC, CBL Group, Citi, Sarvodaya Shramadana Movement, and PwC Sri Lanka.


Funded by like-minded corporate partners along with execution partner Sarvodaya and accountability partner PwC Sri Lanka, the ‘Manudam Mehewara’ initiative aims to provide emergency relief to more than 200,000 vulnerable families across the country. 


Emergency relief is currently being distributed across all 25 districts, where over 40,000 families in need have been assisted to date. The Manudam Mehewara humanitarian coalition will conduct its relief efforts for 60–90 days until a sustainable benefit transfer system is established in the country through an effective economic recovery plan.
Speaking on this occasion, Michelle Senanayake, Group Head of HR, Sunshine Holdings PLC said Sunshine Holdings believe in bringing good things to life, and Manudam Mehewara is a personification of that purpose. 


“Sri Lanka is shaped by its resilience, therefore, despite the challenges thrown at us we will continue to go forth from strength to strength together under a united cause. I am confident that Sri Lanka will rise again, and Sunshine is happy to join like-minded partners in seeing this proactive effort thrive,” she said.


Senanayake went on to thank Dialog, MAS, Hemas, CBL and Citi for bringing the entities together for the common good as we all need to step up to the plate and play our part in 
nation-building.
