Viru Diri Leasing donates for Api Wenuwen Api

Viru Diri Leasing from Central Finance, begins a successful journey in rebuilding the livelihoods of our war heroes with a donation of Rs. 4,272,500 made to the Api Wenuwen Api fund in July/August.

Central Finance introduced the CF Viru Diri Leasing scheme, which currently offers the lowest down payment in the island and the lowest monthly rental for a brand new or registered three wheeler. There are no additional costs or hidden charges on this scheme.

All one needs to do is pay the initial down payment and the insurance premium to lease a three wheeler from CF.

Central Finance will then donate Rs. 2,500, to the Api Wenuwen Api fund for every three wheeler leased on this scheme. The three wheeler will be delivered free of charge to any part of the island.

Central Finance is very happy with the positive response to this scheme so far and have donated Rs. 4,272,500 for the months of July and August. This donation was handed over to the Secretary of Defence Gotabhaya Rajapaksa on September 14.
