The staff of the Department of Commerce, under the Ministry of Trade, Commerce, Food Security and Cooperative Development, symbolically handed over a donation of Rs. 600,000 to the Government’s “Rebuilding Sri Lanka” Disaster Relief Fund on 01 January 2026 at the Ministry premises.

The contribution was made with the objective of supporting the restoration of livelihoods and national reconstruction efforts following the adverse impact of Cyclone Ditwah, one of the most severe natural disasters experienced by the country in recent times towards the latter part of 2025.

Several officials, including Ms. Ameena Mohin, Director General of Commerce, were present at the event.

This donation reflects the Department of Commerce’s commitment and solidarity with the affected communities, as well as its support for the Government’s initiative to rehabilitate lives and rebuild infrastructure through the “Rebuilding Sri Lanka” fund. Notably, the financial contribution was made at the commencement of the New Year, symbolizing a sense of collective responsibility and national unity.
