Abans presents laptops to deserving students

Abans completed the second stage of their CSR initiative 'From your laptop to their future' by presenting 18 Toshiba laptops to deserving university students at the Ministry of Higher Education premises recently.Minister of Higher Education S. B. Dissanayake made the presentations. Abans, Senior Brand Manager Chatura Jayawardana, Abans and ministry officials were also present.

The 18 students with excellent performance but who could not afford to purchase a laptop were selected from government universities islandwide. They were recommended by the academic staff of the universities.

Abans is an authorised partner for Toshiba. Understanding the importance that computers provide in today's world, in education and in enhancing the knowledge of students, Abans took up the challenge as a CSR initiative to provide Toshiba laptops to deserving students.

This is the first time that a laptop donation drive of such magnitude is being carried out by a single corporate entity in Sri Lanka. Rather than limiting the donation to a few educational institutes, this initiative of Abans will benefit students from all over the island. Abans generously contributed Rs. 1,000 from the sale of each Toshiba laptop from February 15 to April 30.
