Sriyani Dress Point donates Rs. 20 million and deploys aid for Cyclone Ditwah victims
Nevindee Amarasinghe

Sriyani Dress Point, one of Sri Lanka’s leading fashion retail chains, has stepped forward as a responsible corporate citizen by donating Rs. 20 million to the Government’s ‘Rebuilding Sri Lanka’ Fund while simultaneously activating comprehensive ground-level relief operations for communities devastated by Cyclone Ditwah.
The substantial cash donation was officially presented at the Presidential Secretariat to Dr. Nandika Sanath Kumanayake, Secretary to the President, by Chairman of Sriyani Dress Point M. Selvaraj together with the company’s Managing Directors and senior leadership team.
Beyond the financial commitment to national recovery efforts, Sriyani Dress Point immediately mobilized its staff members from its eight showrooms across Sri Lanka to deliver direct, tangible assistance where it was needed most urgently. By leveraging this network and its deep community connections, the company distributed essential aid including clothing and dry rations directly to affected families. This grassroots response ensured that support reached vulnerable communities without delay. The company further amplified its impact through strategic partnerships with humanitarian initiatives led by Sri Lankan media organizations, along with other key organizational collaborations, extending the reach and effectiveness of its relief distribution efforts.
As part of this broader response, the company emphasized that its disaster relief efforts are rooted in the long-standing values that have shaped Sriyani Dress Point since its founding in 1993. Having grown from a single modest store into a major fashion retail chain employing over 2,000 individuals, the company’s approach to business has always been tied to genuine community commitment. Its history of corporate social responsibility includes sustained support for hospitals, schools, orphanages, and pilgrimage sites across the country. In the context of the national crisis, the company positions its combined financial contribution and immediate on-ground assistance as a strong example of compassionate and responsible corporate citizenship.
