FAQ
Questions, answered.
Everything people most often ask about CJF Sri Lanka — Resources For All, Dignity First, our team, and how to get involved.
What is CJF Sri Lanka?
CJF Sri Lanka is the Sri Lankan branch of the Courtney Jordan Foundation, a global poverty-prevention foundation founded by entrepreneur Courtney Jordan in 2011 with offices in London and Dhaka. We empower people and uplift communities facing adversity through education, entrepreneurship, nutrition and sustainability.
What is Resources For All?
Resources For All is CJF Sri Lanka’s signature approach. We invest in marginalised people so they can produce essential goods for others — for example, supporting women who sew washable, reusable sanitary pads for women and girls who struggle to access them. It is a hand up, not a handout.
What is the Dignity First nutrition initiative?
Dignity First is a 90-day Community Nutrition & Dignity Program launched by CJF Sri Lanka in 2026. It aims to stabilise 1,000 vulnerable rural households and protect 600 nutritionally at-risk children through locally sourced family food boxes, school nutrition at three rural schools, and monthly community health screenings.
Who leads CJF Sri Lanka?
CJF Sri Lanka is led by Aruna Perera, President of Sri Lankan Operations, with Eshan Liyanage as Deputy Director and Rashmi Dissanayake as Chief Volunteer.
