Coloring Dreams: Sejaya’s 10th Anniversary Art Competition for Client Children

As part of our 10th Anniversary celebrations, Sejaya Microcredit Limited proudly organized a special Art Competition for the children of our valued clients across all branches. Themed “My Dream”, the competition aimed to inspire creativity and give young minds a platform to express their hopes and aspirations through art.

We were overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response — with over 200 beautiful artworks submitted from children across the island, representing every Sejaya branch. Each piece of art reflected the vibrant imagination, talent, and dreams of our next generation.

To celebrate and encourage their efforts, we proudly displayed all the artworks at our Head Office, turning our space into a colorful gallery of inspiration. A panel of judges carefully selected the Top 3 winning drawings, along with the Best 15 artworks from each branch, recognizing the most creative and heartfelt submissions.

Winners were awarded special prizes, and every participant was appreciated for their effort and spirit. The smiles on the faces of these young artists made this celebration even more meaningful for all of us.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the children who participated, and to their families and our branch teams who supported and encouraged them. Your enthusiasm and involvement added color and joy to Sejaya’s anniversary celebrations.

At Sejaya, we believe in empowering not only our clients, but also nurturing the dreams of their children — because they are the future we’re working for.

Together, we grow dreams. Together, we celebrate them.

Celebrating a Remarkable Milestone: Sejaya Reaches Rs. 4 billion Portfolio

On 22nd April 2025, Sejaya Microcredit Limited proudly celebrated a powerful achievement in its journey of financial empowerment — reaching a portfolio of Rs. 4 billion. As a microfinance institution built on trust, service, and community engagement, this milestone marks a significant chapter in our mission to uplift lives across Sri Lanka.

Held in conjunction with the opening of our new head office, the celebration brought together the driving forces behind this success — our Senior Management, Operations Team, Regional Managers, Recovery Managers,  all of whom have played a vital role in achieving this impressive goal.

To honor this moment, a special cake-cutting ceremony was organized at the new Sejaya headquarters. It was more than just a celebration; it was a heartfelt expression of gratitude for the hard work, resilience, and unity of our Sejaya team across the island. The event reflected the passion and determination that continue to fuel our success.

Why This Milestone Matters

Reaching a Rs. 4 billion portfolio is a testament to the trust our clients have placed in us, and the consistent commitment of our teams across all 57 branches. It demonstrates Sejaya’s steady and sustainable growth in the microfinance sector — helping thousands of micro-entrepreneur’s access capital, build livelihoods, and improve their quality of life.

It is also a sign of financial stability, operational strength, and responsible lending, made possible through robust internal systems, strategic leadership, and the strong foundation laid over the past decade.

Looking Ahead

While we take a moment to celebrate, we are already planning our next chapter of growth. Our upcoming goals include:

• Expanding branch network to reach underserved regions
• Enhancing digital microfinance services to improve efficiency and accessibility
• Introducing innovative loan products tailored to client needs
• Strengthening client education and financial literacy programs

We also remain committed to working closely with our mother company, Gojo & Company Inc., Japan, whose ongoing support and partnership continue to guide our vision for inclusive finance.

From Rs. 4 billion today to greater heights tomorrow — this is only the beginning.
