Stepping Forward: Asia Asset Finance PLC's Commitment to Combating Diabetes
In a world where 1 in 4 Sri Lankans, both adults and children, grapple with the relentless challenge of diabetes, we at Asia Asset Finance PLC are taking a stand. We are immensely proud to announce our partnership as the Title Partner for "Steps Against Diabetes," a remarkable fundraising initiative aimed at supporting Paa Saviya, a not-for-profit diabetic wound and foot care unit established by the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Colombo.
What is Steps Against Diabetes?
"Steps Against Diabetes" is a beacon of hope for those battling the debilitating effects of diabetes. This initiative is a lifeline for Paa Saviya, where dedicated doctors provide free specialized foot care for diabetics, including limb salvage, prosthetics, insole development, diabetic footwear, and the up-skilling of nurses in treating diabetic wounds. The rising costs of medical treatment, exacerbated by the current economic conditions both locally and globally, have hit diabetic patients from economically challenged communities the hardest. "Steps Against Diabetes" seeks to alleviate this burden by ensuring continued access to affordable and essential diabetic care.
Why This Matters
Diabetes is more than just a health condition; it is a silent killer that impacts the entire body, leading to severe complications such as strokes, heart attacks, kidney failure, and amputations. The statistics are alarming, but the human stories behind them are even more compelling. Every patient at Paa Saviya is a story of courage and resilience, and it is our collective responsibility to support them in their fight against this relentless disease.
Our Commitment: Passion for CSR, Female Empowerment, and Financial Inclusion
At Asia Asset Finance PLC, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is more than just a commitment; it's a passion. Our CSR initiatives are deeply rooted in themes of female empowerment and financial inclusion. We believe in creating opportunities and providing support where it is needed the most. Our involvement in "Steps Against Diabetes" reflects our dedication to these values, as we work towards a healthier and more inclusive society.
Our Journey: 300 km for a Cause
The founders of Seeni Colombo have embarked on an inspiring journey, walking all 300 km of the internationally acclaimed The Pekoe Trail over 25 consecutive days. This walk, beginning from Pedro Estate in Nuwara Eliya and culminating in Hanthane on 15th August, is not just a physical feat but a powerful statement of solidarity and awareness. Every step taken is a step towards generating much-needed funding for Paa Saviya, ensuring that the essential services they provide can continue unabated.
