SLT Chairman Nimal Welgama exchanges the agreement with NCPA Chairperson Anoma Dissanayake

The national service provider, Sri Lanka Telecom Mobitel will assist the National Child Protection Association (NCPA) to protect children. A number of projects will be undertaken by Mobitel to develop the NCPA to achieve its vision of creating a child-friendly and protective environment for children. Mobitel will work closely with the NCPA towards strengthening their call centre via training programs and infrastructure upgrade.

Mobitel will carry out several fund-raising initiatives on behalf of the NCPA, which will help set up 'safe houses' aimed at ensuring the security of child witnesses and abused children.

"It is important that we protect our children and their rights.

We are responsible for their protection and development and we must ensure that they are able to achieve their fullest potential.

We, at Mobitel, have taken it upon ourselves to go over and beyond our mandate of being the National Mobile Service Provider, fulfilling our brand promise of 'We Care. Always' - lending our fullest support to the NCPA towards achieving its vision. This CSR project is of utmost importance to us and falls in line with our mission to 'Care, Share and Deliver'" said Chairman Mobitel, Nimal Welgama.

Chairperson NCPA, Mrs. Anoma Dissanayake said, "It is truly heartening to see a corporate giant such as Mobitel take the initiative to reach out to the community.

The projects that Mobitel will carry out with us will strengthen and develop our staff, our program, helping us to work towards eradicating child abuse in Sri Lanka, while giving our children a childhood that they can be proud of."
