The foundation seeks to develop a holistic rural community development model to enable people to move towards economic sustainability, which since its inception, has grown to a project delivering a wide range of programmes to over 31,500 beneficiaries in 400 plus villages across Sri Lanka.

Kumar Sangakkara Sri Lankan Cricketing legend had some wonderful words to add about our support to the Foundation “Congratulations to Will Gaffney for his wonderful initiative supporting underprivileged young cricketers in Sri Lanka. The equipment donated via the Foundation of Goodness will bring much joy and happiness in the year ahead for children who struggle to play the game due to a lack of equipment.”
