SLT-MOBITEL ask public to take part in a special initiative for Vesak to help communities affected by COVID-19

Business

Marking an important season of Vesak this year – celebrated last week -, SLT-MOBITEL invited the general public to join ‘Daana Paaramitha’, an initiative conceptualised to support the communities affected by the pandemic.

To support these distressed communities, SLT-MOBITEL instituted a fund which customers can contribute to as a meritorious deed. Both Pre-Paid and Post-Paid Mobitel customers can donate Rs. 50 per SMS by simply typing ‘YES’ and sending it to 255. In return, SLT-MOBITEL will match all public donations and will double the funds collected. Customers who wish to make a bigger contribution have the option of sending multiple SMS messages from the same number, the company said in a media release.

SLT-MOBITEL is committed to keeping the nation connected during these challenging times and has implemented numerous national level initiatives to help the affected communities as a result of COVID-19. SLT-MOBITEL also donated one million masks in public locations and re-engineered its operations to help public and private institutions to carry out uninterrupted services by providing high-quality connectivity solutions.
