Asia Asset Finance and Hatton Tea Plantations organise cancer awareness programme

In an initiative during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Asia Asset Finance PLC in partnership with Hatton Tea Plantations organised a CSR event in Hatton aimed at raising awareness about breast cancer among tea estate workers.

The event, attended by over 500 tea estate workers, focused on educating women about breast cancer detection, symptoms and prevention. Healthcare professionals from the local hospital led the sessions, offering essential knowledge to women who often lack access to healthcare.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Sri Lanka, with around 4,000 new cases diagnosed annually. In rural areas, however, many cases go undetected due to limited healthcare access. Recognizing this critical gap, Asia Asset Finance stepped in to provide life-saving awareness and education, bringing hope and empowerment to a community that forms the backbone of Sri Lanka’s tea industry.

Asia Asset Finance PLC Head of CSR of Yuveni Dias highlighted the company’s commitment to women’s empowerment and community well-being:

“Supporting the health and well-being of women in our communities is not just a responsibility it is a commitment we hold deeply at Asia Asset Finance. By raising awareness and educating women, we aim to empower them to take control of their health. Every woman deserves the knowledge and tools to protect herself and we are honored to play a part in that.”

This initiative is part of Asia Asset Finance’s broader vision of female empowerment, going beyond financial services to truly support the communities it serves. By providing critical health education to women who often lack access to such resources, the company is helping to transform lives and create lasting change.
