Foundation  of Goodness
The Foundation of Goodness was set up by Kushil Gunasekera in 1999, to provide essential services to his ancestral village of Seenigama. Since then he has been joined by a dedicated Board of Trustees and a committed team based in Seenigama and Colombo, all working together with villagers and donors to uplift the lives of rural communities in Sri Lanka. Vision: To create a sustainable community model designed to inspire other regions and empower disadvantaged communities throughout the globe. Mission: To empower the less privileged rural communities, whilst inculcating the spirit of goodness,so that they may have equal opportunities to excel in life. Web Site : http://www.unconditionalcompassion.org/
The Foundation of Goodness is supported by trustees, Kushil Gunasekera, Muthiah Muralidaran, Chaminda Vaas, Kumar Sangakkara, Rohan Iriyagolle and Ashan Malalasekera. ‘The greatest privilege in life is to be able to give back to those in need. Whatever our background, giving even if we have only a little is the hardest thing to do, yet most divine. This is what empowerment is; helping those who think they have little, to realise their potential and to give back in turn. In this way we are all responsible for building a string, prosperous and healthy society.’  Read More
North Empowerment Project
The ending of the civil war in May 2009 has provided many new opportunities in northern Sri Lanka. Having achieved such wonderful success in the southern village of Seenigama after the tsunami, the Foundation of Goodness is now seeking to replicate the model in this previously troubled part of the country. Known as the North Empowerment Project, the project will consist of a Learning & Empowerment Institute as well as New School for both primary and secondary education. The project will provide facilities and services to meet the needs of rural communities and help bridge the gap between these areas and the rest of the country. Serving approximately 50,000 beneficiaries a year, the project will cater to the healthcare, educational, business development, sports and empowerment needs of the local population through programmes of community development, inter-cultural activities and skills exchange.
