Crysbro ‘Praja Aruna’ programme facilitates renovation of 21 staff houses
Sri Lanka’s leading and largest poultry manufacturer Crysbro has made a financial donation to renovate the homes of 21 of the group’s employees through its Crysbro Praja Aruna CSR project, which is designed to empower its staff.
The funds were provided to employees in urgent need of such assistance, who work at Crysbro’s islandwide business centres.
The initiative, which was the brainchild of the group’s HR and Administration Division, was graced by Group Chairman and Managing Director Mohamed Imtiaz.
The Crysbro employees who received this housing assistance were given Rs.100,000 each, which was provided entirely through the Crysbro Staff Welfare Fund. Six female employees and 15 male employees were deemed eligible for this financial grant.
Launched in 2012 by Imtiaz, Crysbro Praja Aruna is the group’s premier welfare and CSR initiative. Since its inception, 34 houses have been constructed on the request of employees and based on standard selection criteria aided by this project while more than 60 others have donated money for the renovation of their houses. So far Crysbro has invested Rs.35,350,000 under the Praja Aruna program.
“The Crysbro Group focuses on CSR and all aspects of community support and empowerment through its Green Care (Haritha Sathkaaraya), Sisudiriya, Suwasakthi, Diri Sawiyaand Next Champ programmes targeting the group’s employees and the wider community. The Crysbro group’s sole objective is to empower our people socially and economically as well as in the avenues of health, education and sports, as our primary commitment as a fully Sri Lankan company rests solely with all Sri Lankans,” stated Crysbro Group HR and Admin. Manager Ranjana Mahindasiri.
