As one of Sri Lanka’s pioneering technology companies, Creative Software, is taking the lead in a series of impactful initiatives aimed at giving back to the community. Under the slogan ‘Together, We Care,’ these endeavours embody the company’s unwavering commitment to supporting the community and corporate social responsibility, uplifting the nation and positively impacting people’s lives.
The significance of these initiatives is highlighted by Creative Software Director Marketing Peumi Rodrigo: “‘Together, We Care’ is an extension of our company brand tagline, ‘Together, We Build.’ It represents the work we do to support the community and corporate social responsibility, encapsulating our culture and spirit of togetherness.”
“Empowering employees to actively participate in social initiatives and cultivate a sense of shared responsibility is one of the core values at Creative Software,” Rodrigo further adds.
Creative Software is deeply committed to creating a positive impact on society through a range of initiatives. One of their ongoing projects involve sponsoring 250 children and providing them with a nourishing daily meal. This initiative not only supports the children but also extends assistance to local households that prepare the meals, ensuring a stable income and a better livelihood for the local community.
Additionally, the company actively encourages its employees to participate in the annual blood donation drive, resulting in a donation of around 40 litres of blood to the Sri Lanka Blood Bank annually. This contribution is crucial in supporting medical emergencies and saving lives in the country.
Another noteworthy initiative led by Creative Software is the employee-driven campaign that raised over 1 million rupees, providing essential medical supplies to Apeksha Hospital in Maharagama during the economic downturn. These supplies, included color flow cytometry reagents and meropenem vials, vital for conducting scans at the hospital along with daily medicine requirements.
Furthermore, Creative Software acts as the project guardian for the ‘Little Hearts’ project, a major national fundraiser aimed at building a cardiac and critical care complex at Lady Ridgeway Children’s Hospital. Commenting on the progress of this national initiative, Creative Software Co-founder/ Director Sushena Ranatunga stated, “Through this ambitious project, we strive to save at least 10,000 lives annually while alleviating the infant mortality rate in Sri Lanka due to poverty, accessibility to medical care and infrastructure challenges. With the completion of the 12-story building structure, housing over 100 ICU beds and state-of-the-art operating theatres designed with child-friendly surroundings, we know we are making a significant impact in more ways than one. This project is close to our hearts, and we are humbled to be part of this national cause.”
In addition to its community-focused initiatives, Creative Software also collaborates with local academia to provide technical expertise, help meet infrastructure requirements for students, and invest in research and development (R&D). The company’s goal is to ensure equal educational opportunities for all students, regardless of their walk of life.
By uniting under the banner of shared responsibility, ‘Together, We Care,’ Creative Software exemplifies the power of unity in creating lasting and positive change. The company firmly believes in the transformative power of collaboration as they continue to empower the next generation of innovators, uplift communities, and contribute to the growth and prosperity of Sri Lanka
