Sri Lanka Insurance partners Abimansala

Sri Lanka Insurance officials expressed their pride in becoming a part of a very noble project in the country today by building Abimansala, a series of care homes for the disabled war heroes of our country.

Abimansala, a truly heartwarming project, laid its inaugural foundation on the banks of the Nuwara Wewa tank in Anuradhapura as a wellness resort for dependent war heroes and is now home to 52 dependent war heroes.

The next Abimansala 2 was built in the South at Wilpitawatta, Udumulla under the Athuraliya Divisional Secretariat providing life-long care to 48 war heroes in the South. The next in the series is Abhimansala 3, scheduled to be set up in Kurunegala and Abhimansala 4 in the Northern Province.

The Abimansala project is the brainchild of President Mahinda Rajapaksa who, in his 'Mahinda Chintanaya,' had envisaged the establishment of separate protective homes for all differently-abled soldiers throughout their life span. The project is sprearheaded and guided by the Secretary of Defence and Urban Development, Gotabhaya Rajapaksa and the construction is carried out by Sri Lanka Army.

The centre provides its round the clock care to inmates. It is equipped with state-of-the-art services, including medical laboratories, a traditional herbal treatment facility, auditorium, sports facilities, entertainment and library facilities and also hydrotherapy and physiotherapy facilities. The war heroes are given the best medical and personal care for life.

The centre is also equipped with a swimming pool, gymnasium, physiotherapy unit, medical wing, medical laboratory, library, indoor stadium, entertainment hall, dining hall and an auditorium.

It is indeed touching to see the inmates gradually improve their lost skills under the careful guidance of teachers cum therapists. Memories have long left these heroes. It is remarkable to note the extreme love, passion and care that has gone in to developing the Abimansala Project.

Sri Lanka Insurance, the nations insurance giant holds this project close to heart and denotes the truly CSR culture it always develops and embraces within the company. Backed by an asset base of Rs. 109 billion and a strong capitalization of Rs. six billion, Sri Lanka Insurance is synonymous in projects it undertakes to enhance and uplift the environment within which it operates and consciously strive to bestow an important place for sustainability development in its balance sheet.
