NSVU provides financial assistance to repair a house of naval person disabled whilst in service

The President of Navy Seva Vanitha Unit (NSVU), Mrs Chandima Ulugetenne on 17th November 2022 handed over the ownership of a house, repaired with financial contribution of NSVU, to a disabled naval person. The sailor who is now in retirement was disabled when he was in service.

Following a notion of the President of NSVU, a housing project was commenced as a social responsibility initiative to provide shelter for naval personnel who were killed or disabled in action. Accordingly, in response to a request made by retired Stores Assistant SR Susantha, NSVU made financial assistance possible for the repair work of his house. The retired sailor has become visually impaired while he was serving in the Navy.

Executive committee member of NSVU, Mrs Inoka Weerakoon as well as the Secretary and staff of the Navy Seva Vanitha Unit were also present on this occasion.
