The Foundation of Goodness is a Sri Lankan non-governmental organization (NGO) that has been active in the rural community of Seenigama and surrounding villages for over seven years. Our work is unique to the region since it is of a holistic nature, attending to all of the needs of the villagers, including housing, infrastructure, livelihoods, medical care, welfare, children, education, skills development, sports, cultural preservation and a range of other services. As our capacity grows, we are extending our work into neighbouring villages and beyond. We are currently addressing needs in over 25 villages.

Our Foundation has a reputation of unquestionable integrity. We have worked with the likes of USAID and AusAID. The myriad of projects undertaken by the Foundation to uplift the standard of living in Seenigama village and its surrounds were all obliterated within minutes by the terrible force of the Tsunami which struck the shores of Sri Lanka on the 26th of December 2004.

Our Vision: A society where the less privileged communities can live meaningfully and purposefully with equal opportunities to excel in life - in essence, to develop a sustainable model community.

Our Mission: To empower economically and socially disadvantaged communities and thereby enable the creation of a better and more equitable society. We believe the community should be the driving force in its own development.
