Colombo, May 25 – Demonstrating a deep commitment to corporate responsibility and compassion, Team Baraka proudly took part in a meaningful walkathon organized by the Rotaract Clubs of Colombo Uptown on May 24. The event aimed to raise awareness about autism and Down syndrome, while also generating funds for the establishment of a much-needed Cognitive Wellness Center.
The 5-kilometer walk, which began and ended at the Colombo University grounds, attracted a large number of participants from all walks of life. Among them, Team Baraka stood out—not just for their energy and enthusiasm, but for their wholehearted embrace of the cause. While they completed the course ahead of many, the true value of their participation lay in the solidarity, empathy, and awareness they helped promote.
Staying true to its mission of promoting holistic well-being, Baraka added meaningful value to the event by setting up a ‘Pain-Free Zone’ wellness booth offering post-walk recovery care using Baraka’s signature wellness products. This thoughtful gesture was widely appreciated by participants, many of whom found comfort and relief through the natural remedies provided, further reinforcing Baraka’s commitment to wellness in action.
Baraka’s involvement in this initiative is part of its broader effort to support impactful causes. The company has consistently supported community-driven programs, including its regular participation in the annual ‘Run For Their Lives’ charity event organized by the same Rotaract Clubs, benefiting the Apeksha Cancer Hospital in Maharagama.
Commenting on the initiative, Ihshan Abdeen, Chief Operating Officer of Baraka, said: “Our involvement goes beyond the walk. It’s about uplifting communities, creating awareness, and contributing meaningfully to the betterment of society. This is what responsible corporate citizenship truly means.”
In a world where success is often defined by the bottom line, Baraka continues to lead with heart—walking with purpose, healing through care, and giving back with conviction.
