SLAF Seva Vanitha Unit launches website

COLOMBO: The Sri Lanka Air Force Seva Vanitha Unit launched its website www.airforce.lk/sevavanitha recently at the SLAF Katunayake Base.

Seva Vanitha Unit (SVU) President Nelun Goonetileke vouched to mobilise all forces to create a socially safer environment for the families of war heroes.

She said the SVU would, wherever possible, cater to the needs of those families.

The SVU has launched 100 scholarships for the children of air force personnel and is providing lands or houses for family members of those killed in action, missing in action and wounded in action.

"The loved ones of those who sacrificed their lives and others who have become permanent victims crave for love and care.

We should therefore, as members of the SVU, invariably become a part and parcel of creating a better tomorrow for them," she said.

The future projects include elevation of SLAF pre-schools and primary schools into international standards, providing housing loans and donations for differently-abled service and civil personnel for construction and improvements of their houses, providing financial support and equipment for self-employment of the wounded.

The SVU's objectives are to alleviate hardships faced by families of deceased and injured SLAF personnel, through dedicated and organised involvement of its members who are spouses of serving personnel.
