AB Mauri Lanka, a supplier of quality ingredients and yeast for Sri Lanka’s bakery industry, is set to commemorate International Women’s Day 2025 with its flagship event, “Empower Her”, on March 2, at the Sheraton Colombo Hotel, Colombo.
This initiative reaffirms AB Mauri Lanka’s commitment to diversity, inclusion, and women’s empowerment by encouraging and supporting skill development while also celebrating the achievements of women in the baking industry.
The Company believes that by imparting bakery industry skills to women, they will be encouraged to achieve economic empowerment and job creation.
AB Mauri Lanka will award 20 full scholarships under the Empower Her Scholarship Program, offering comprehensive training to women who aspire to build careers in the baking industry.
The program aims to empower women in economically challenged circumstances and those on the state welfare program Aswasuma, particularly single parents and primary income earners, by equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to establish their own businesses and achieve financial independence.
There will also be a panel discussion.
Applications for the Empower Her Scholarship Program are open until February 20, with interviews and aptitude tests scheduled for February 22. The final list of scholarship recipients will be announced on February 24.
