Sri Lanka Insurance Life (SLIC Life), Sri Lanka’s leading life insurer, continues to demonstrate its steadfast commitment to uplifting the nation’s children through the long-standing ‘Pasal Piriyatha Surakimu’ Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. Going above and beyond the call of duty, SLIC Life has been at the forefront of creating better learning environments for underprivileged children across the country since the program’s inception in 2007.
To date, the program has benefitted an impressive 3,365 schools island wide, underscoring SLIC Life’s pledge to nurture the educational journeys of future generations. The most recent phase of the initiative was launched on the 24th of May 2025, with projects carried out simultaneously at 100 selected schools throughout the country. Activities were spearheaded by SLIC Life’s Regional and Branch offices, highlighting the strong involvement of the organisation.
This nationwide initiative saw a multitude of programmes taking place, including refurbishment of classrooms, provision of clean drinking water, colour washing and repair work, restoration of desks and chairs, and donation of books for both students and school libraries, along with addressing other basic school needs. The overarching goal is to ensure that children have access to clean, safe, and inspiring learning spaces, especially in underserved communities. The deserving schools for the programme were selected based on the categorization of schools done by the Ministry of Education along with the observations and visits by the SLIC Life regional sales teams.
Sri Lanka Insurance Life has long recognized child education as a key strategic pillar in establishing its leadership within the Sri Lankan market. The ‘Pasal Piriyatha Surakimu’ initiative complements a broader range of child-focused programs within the organization. These include the annual Rs. 1 million free life insurance cover for parents of children born on World Children’s Day, and the impactful Suba Pathum Scholarship Program, which has already granted over 1,800 scholarships worth closer to Rs. 200 million to high achieving students at national examinations.
Group Chief Executive Officer Mr. Chandana L. Aluthgama, along with the Corporate Management team, Zonal Heads, Regional Managers, Branch Managers, and the wider sales force, played an integral role in executing the 2025 leg of the program, reflecting SLIC Life’s culture of collective responsibility and hands-on leadership.
Sri Lanka Insurance Life remains steadfast in its mission to create a lasting impact in society, not just through insurance, but by being a trusted partner in the holistic development of the nation.
