People’s Merchant Finance spreads love, compassion with CSR initiative

-

People’s Merchant Finance PLC has initiated a programme on the theme of ‘Meth Sisila Pathuramu Sith Thula’.

As millions of Buddhists commemorat­e Vesak and Poson, People’s Merchant Finance PLC set foot on a special theme to celebrate the events.

People’s Merchant Finance PLC believes in kindness and compassion towards others. A subsidiary of people’s bank and having over 35 years history in the finance sector, People’s Merchant Finance PLC has won the hearts of many loyal customers.

In this 2018/2019 fiscal year, keeping to its true tradition, People’s Merchant Finance PLC turned a new leaf by commencing CSR activities by organising a variety of special events to commemorat­e year round religious events.

The new CEO Nishantha Gunasekara has brought in a fresh breath of air to People’s Merchant Finance PLC under the stewardshi­p of Chairman Hemasiri Fernando.

“Our objective is to assist the people who need loving compassion,” Manager Business Promotion Mahendra Manawadu elaborated on the programmes the company has organised in Kandy and Kurunegala, namely in ‘Friends in need Society’ and ‘Ibbagamuwa Elders’ Home’, elderly homes situated in the heart of towns.

The staff of the head office of People’s Merchant Finance PLC and the Kandy and Kurunegala branches spent a fun-filled time with the elders bringing joyful tears to their eyes. A sing song event brought back the long lost signing talents of the elders, which ended with a delicious meal shared with loving compassion.

The People’s Merchant Finance PLC’S next CSR activities are already organised in Anuradhapu­ra and Mihintale. The company targets to provide people in remote areas with day-today essentials.

The concept ‘Meth Sisila Pathuramu Sith Thula’ spreads its compassion to commemorat­e Hajji, Ramadan and Christmas festivals too, organising various events in villages helping all walks of lives.

People’s Merchant Finance PLC has collaborat­ed with its branch network to carry out CSR events. The staff contribute­s to this worthy cause while the company funds the events. By embracing the theme ‘Meth Sisila Pathuramu Sith Thula’, People’s Merchant Finance PLC hopes that every Sri Lankan would spread love and compassion towards others.
