Ceylinco Life donates tube wells in Embilipitiya, Moneragala

Two remote dry zone villages in Embilipitiya and Moneragala are the latest beneficiaries from the Tube Wells Project of life insurance leader Ceylinco Life.

Diyapota (Omalpe) and Iththekatuwa, where water for drinking and washing is scarce, have each received a tube well under the company's corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme, the company said.

Pictured here is a tube well donated by Ceylinco Life to the villages of Iththekatuwa in Moneragala.

The tube wells costing Rs 500,000 were installed as one of the key elements of a portfolio of CSR initiatives implemented under the 'Ceylinco Nava Jeevana' banner. Ceylinco Life has also already provided tube wells to several other needy villages including Sandagala and Gothamigramaya, two remote villages in Tissamaharama and Kataragama respectively as well as to Nochchiyagama, Kokunnawa and Ranorava under this project.

Ceylinco Life's commitment to corporate social responsibility has been recognized internationally with the company being adjudged the best in CSR among insurance companies in Asia last year by Asia Insurance Review.
