The programme offers support to all school going children of all its employees across all its farms, factories and officesisland wide. As a result, nearly 600 students of employees who are currently studying in grades one through to 13 across the island, received Bairaha branded school bags and stationary packs through this annual initiative.
Simultaneously, while nurturing the future of the country on the one hand, Bairaha Farms PLCalso provided powerful purpose by instilling environmentally conscious civic mindedness to its employees by gifting them with individual miniature potted house plants, to celebrate the dawn of 2022.
The potted house plants are gifted with the aim of reinforcing in employees the need to respect and protect nature and care for it responsibly for the future.
“We take social consciousness very seriously at Bairaha Farms PLC. This is why we are singularly focussed on introducing novel product ranges that retain not only the quality of farm freshness,but also products that are free from antibiotics, hormones or added MSG,” said Bairaha Farms MD/CEO Yakooth Naleem.
He added that equally important is the focus on nourishing the minds of the future generations.
“We are happy to be involved in their educational journey and take sincere pride in being able to provide children of our extended family with schoolsupplies for the last four years since 2018. But all of this alone is insufficient if we don’t have a healthy planet to live in,” he said.
The Bairaha Help to Learn project supports nearly 600 students annually. Each year, much needed school supplies are gifted to children of employees through an annual event that is held at one of Bairaha Farms’ strategic locations. Since 2018, events have been held at Anamaduwa, Nikaeweratiya and Hiripitiya, and even at its Processing Plant at Pasyala.
For this year, the processing factory at Pasyala was selected as the location for the gifting ceremony. By alternating locations for the ceremony, Bairaha Farms PLC aims to enhance greater inclusivity across the organization and ensure that as many of its employees and their families are able to participate, connect and celebrate directly together as one family at these ceremonies at some point in time.
