Citi reaffirmed its dedication to community enhancement by collaborating with ChildFund Sri Lanka to aid Mawela Kanishta Vidyalaya in Wadduwa during the recent Citi Global Community Day 2026, the company’s premier annual volunteer event.
This initiative transcended a mere day of volunteering, as it united Citi employees to foster a more supportive educational environment for students through various school enhancement projects. Volunteers took on tasks such as revitalizing classrooms with fresh paint, producing and restoring colorful wall murals, and upgrading sanitation facilities. A key feature of the day was the donation of a system that provides students with access to clean drinking water, along with other environmentally friendly initiatives.
The event also featured a light-hearted cricket match between Citi volunteers and the students, promoting meaningful interactions and unforgettable moments that extended beyond the tangible improvements to the school facilities.
