Navantis completes more CSR projects
Navantis has successfully completed several community projects from
its inception, including the recently concluded two projects in 2008 as
part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities.
Navantis IT (Pvt) Ltd., a Canadian based software development
company, has had its development centre in Sri Lanka since December
2004.
Navantis mainly engages in Information Technology (IT) Services,
Technical advisory and support facilities to its large Northern American
clientele. The Navantis team worked hard to uplift their fellow
citizens' living conditions and health care by renovating a rural
hospital at Parasangaswewa in the Anuradhapura district.
This is the only hospital in the area providing medical assistance
for more than twenty villages surrounding Parasangaswewa.
Navantis renovated this hospital as a community project after
considering many reasons.
The hospital needed improvements with regard to the environment,
beds, wards, bathrooms and toilet facilities. These improvements were
vital to carry out its services in the male, female wards, maternity
unit and OPD.
The villagers also provided support for this project and the Doctor
in charge of the hospital played a major role in terms of assisting
Navantis in planning the project, gathering the beneficiaries for
co-operation and implementing the project. The most essential hospital
equipment/items were also donated by Navantis.
Another significant contribution made by Navantis team to the
community, was the creation of a web portal primarily in English for the
Lanka Alzheimer's Foundation (LAF). LAF is an approved charity volunteer
based community organisation to improve the quality of life of those
with Alzheimer's and related disorders. Already there had been a
positive feedback about the content of this portal from the local and
international community who are conscious about this epidemic. |
