Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 

The hotel generally partners with its sister hotel, the Habrana Village, when it comes to serious CSR (corporate social responsibility) projects, ensuring these projects are always completed successfully, and to provide direct benefit to locals most in need.

A well established computer lab was built to help a remote under-privileged school (Habarana Maha Vidyalaya) with almost all the equipment and maintenance being provided by the hotel management.

In addition to that a classroom in the "Palugaswewa Regional School" was converted to a state of the art computer lab in order to enhance the computer literacy of the school children. All the maintenance costs are again provided through the CSR funds of the hotel.

Contunuing their commitment in helping the local community, they also use their CSR funds to a rural hospital in Habarana, and in the restoration of a local ancient temple important to the local culture.
