We have seen and responded to orphans as children calling out for our support. However, we have been blind to their problems as they reach maturity.
As vulnerable young adults, they are often flung in to society without guidance or support. They remain faceless and voiceless, unseen and unheard.
We invite you to contribute and collaborate with our novel approach to empowering orphans as they reach adulthood.
It’s not just about giving them a chance at life. It’s about giving them a choice in their future. Towards creating a lasting impact on society and as an initiative towards ‘giving back’, Amãna Bank launched its flagship CSR venture OrphanCare in 2019. Established as an independent trust, OrphanCare aims to address a very important yet mostly unattended need of orphan children; which is securing the fate of orphans once they reach the age of 18 and are compelled to leave institutional care.
Our approach seeks to intervene in a vital and decisive aspect of the problem: funding. Just as we encourage parents to start saving for their children early, we have created a Trust for orphans to provide them with some measure of financial security when they reach maturity. Guided by Article 2 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, all enrolment will be irrespective of the child’s or their parent’s or legal guardian’s race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national, ethnic or social origin, property, disability, birth or other status. The Trust makes deposits periodically into orphans’ accounts until they reach the age of 18, at which point the funds will become accessible.
Two foundational principles defined the very essence and identity of the Trust. Every rupee donated to the OrphanCare Trust will be directly allocated for orphan accounts. Amãna Bank will bear all operating and administrative costs of the Trust.
With over 14,000 registered orphans in the country, Amãna Bank OrphanCare has to date enrolled over 2,700 orphans to the program representing 75+ orphanages with the objective of reaching out to all orphans in the country. Through the OrphanCare initiative, Amana Bank is contributing towards UN Sustainable Development Goals on No Poverty (1) and Reduced Inequalities (10).

The Bank’s flagship CSR venture Amãna Bank OrphanCare is aimed at financially supporting orphan children who age out of orphanages, so that they can be independent in managing for themselves and not get caught to the poverty trap. Through the Bank’s unique Gold Safekeeping solution, the Bank has reached out to customer segments that hitherto have been un-banked and under-banked.
A key focus of the Bank’s CSR activities continues to revolve around education. Over the years the Bank has contributed to many scholarship programmes. The Bank has also generously contributed stationery items for schools and institutions. The Bank has facilitated many requests of less privileged students in pursuing higher education.
To provide greater comfort and privacy in understanding the different needs of its female customers, Amãna Bank is the only Bank in Sri Lanka to establish a dedicated banking unit catering to female customers.
Accessibility to drinking water continues to be a major challenge for most rural localities in the country. Understanding this predicament, Amãna Bank initiated many programmes to provide clean water including setting up of wells and water purification plants as well as distributing water purifiers. Contribution to Sustainable Development Goals
As an alternative for fossil fuel consumption, the Bank has been actively promoting its Solar Financing to facilitate its customers switching to green energy. Testifying the Bank’s commitment to go green, the electricity to Amãna Bank’s Corporate Office is also generated through Solar energy. At a national level, the Bank has also encouraged and financed businesses that generate renewable energy to the National Grid.
The Bank’s strategic focus is primarily being a Retail and SME Bank, thus it continues to support the various SME industries through financing as well as through moratoriums granted for repayments. Unlike a traditional lender and borrowing relationship where the lender dictates terms, the Bank’s unique banking model fosters a healthier and mutually benefiting relationship which is favourable to SME customers on the long run. This is why the Bank recognises genuine misfortunes and doesn't believe in profiting from the likes of late payment penalties.
The Bank has been supporting low income families through its Gold Safekeeping facility, which facilitates the option of convenient credit at grass root levels. The Bank's OrphanCare programme also contributes towards inclusive development through empowering vulnerable youth.
The Bank has undertaken many initiatives to ensure the Bank’s usage of paper is limited through investing in technology. Some of the key initiatives include online account opening, e-statements and SMS alerts, voucher less deposits, one time password/PIN (OTP) via SMS instead of PIN mailers and scan based approval systems. Supporting the country’s internationally renowned tea industry to develop to its full potential Management
