The Hambantota International Port (HIP) completed yet another event on its CSR calendar, with the distribution of essential household items and food to the Samurdhi recipients in the Hambantota district. 

The port reached out to its surrounding underprivileged communities with US $ 100,000 worth of essential items under this initiative. 

“Our programmes are usually geared towards a more sustainable approach, where we are working with these communities to help them develop livelihoods, so that they can be an active part of the supply chain. However, we also know that under the current conditions, we need to be helping directly with daily essentials,” said HIPG CEO Johnson Liu. 

Liu added that the port was wholly invested in building the lives of surrounding communities as much as developing and expanding its business operations. 

“We have always been caring towards the people around us and are taking a systemic approach to their development and well-being. Our intention is to create more jobs for the region and the well-being of our surrounding communities is a vital part of our work.” 

Liu said the port’s surrounding communities would reap the benefits of the development work spearheaded by HIPG.
