The Foundation of Goodness is a holistic rural development model that seeks to bridge the urban-rural divide in Sri Lanka via 10 empowerment divisions across 850+ villages island-wide, and reached over 135,000+ beneficiaries in 2023 alone by way of 20 Empowerment Centres, free of cost.
The centre was a real pleasure to visit and the work you are doing is exceptional for the communities so badly affected by the 2004 tsunami. Our guide was very informative and it was a delight to see the nursery children and observe the classes going on. It is such a positive, forward thinking and hopeful place. Thank you.

I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for the exceptional hospitality and personal care you extended to us during our recent visit to your centre. It was a truly enlightening experience. Witnessing the remarkable work that the Foundation of Goodness is doing for communities across the island has left a lasting impression on us. We were particularly impressed by the transparency evident in your operations and the righteous application of every aspect of your initiatives. The dedication and enthusiasm of your staff were palpable, and the pristine environment reflected the commitment to excellence. Your innovative management approach was evident to us in every aspect of your work, and your leadership is truly admirable. The advice and insights you shared with us are invaluable as we navigate the landscape of social services, and the remarkable work being done by your organization will always remain a shining example to us.
I also want to express our gratitude for your willingness to help us with the current situation of the school project. We will promptly provide you with the necessary information, as discussed. Once again, thank you and your staff for allocating your entire day for us and sharing your experience with us in setting such high standards in community service. We look forward to staying connected and possibly collaborating in the future.
Much Merits, With Metta.

Dear Kushil Sir & Foundation of Goodness,
First of all I want to thank you for giving us this great opportunity. This place is really memorable as it gave us a beautiful and a valuable experience. We will never forget this day. The personality of Kushil Sir was so great, it means a lot to us. As Dhamma School students, especially as prefects, we learnt a path towards great leadership. We learned about their ‘Goodness’, it was really valuable. We are the leaders of our country. We got a great feeling about this foundation. I think all of us gained a memorable and a valuable experience from this place. Thank you again and again Mr. Kushil Gunasekera. May the noble triple gem bless you!
– Sri Gunananda Dhamma School
Big thank you for making a difference on this beautiful island. I consider myself one of you now, and always it is great to see my people making progress. Thank you for all your hard work! Kushil and the team has been amazing!
Thank you.– Davud Akhundzada
7-years. That’s the amount of time that has surpassed since I last came to the Foundation of Goodness, Seenigama. In those 7-years I was inspired by many many things, people and ideas, but I believe my journey started on the pivotal day when I came here 7-years ago through Ms. Damayanthi (Mr. Kushil’s sister) who happened to be my Geography Teacher. To whoever is reading this, change starts with you. No matter how small you think your voice is; use it! Your opinion matters. So, spread love, spread kindness and spread Goodness. Be the change the world needs.
– Sade Greenwood (Miss Sri Lanka for Miss World 2021)

Today I was lucky to visit the Foundation of Goodness led by Kushil Gunasekera. I spent the whole day at the centre and witnessed the activities run by the centre. It is a well maintained and well disciplined centre. Staff is very committed and passionate. This centre gives an unbelievable service to the community. Not only the education, as Kushil always says, they teach ethics, kindness, human qualities to be a valuable citizen of Sri Lanka. I have no words to thank Kushil Gunasekera for the service he provides to our nation by running a charitable organisation. Wish them all the very best to run the Foundation of Goodness for many more generations!
Budusaranai!– Channa Palansuriya
A very fulfilling day. What an inspiration. Kushil has set an example on how to live a really fulfilling life journey with his foundation of goodness. We live a very short life on this planet.

I wish Kushil & his team to continuously impact the world & inspire many to live a fulfilling life.

I’m from Batticaloa, which has the same infrastructures and community like Seenigama. This Centre gives more power and motivation to me to replicate this idea in my area as well. I don’t know if I will create a mass empire I like this, but I will try to atleast build a community for the ocean conservation. If one man’s dream can create a big impact like this, my dream will also create something and it should. I feel home here.
– Shanjeevan Amalanathan, Founder OceanBiome
The Foundation of Goodness is truly the most inspiring platform to be apart of. Taking a tour of this fulfilling space was truly inspirational and makes me think the true goodness of life lies in helping others.

Shout out to Kushil and his team members for such great work and achievement. It is true that one act of kindness goes a long way.

Finally I have made it to the Foundation of Goodness after hearing so much from so many people. Congratulations on what you have built and continue to build.

I connected with your wonderful country several years ago and will always keep coming. I’m here this time with my son George and he would like to come back to volunteer at some point. It has been a very challenging year with COVID and now through the economic crisis Sri Lanka finds it self at a turning point. It will take some time but I have no doubt that the people will rise up to make change for a better future. It has been a privilege to visit.

It was my pleasure being here and I enjoyed seeing the kids art work so much.
Thank you to everyone who helped set this up and I cannot wait until we come back next time.
– Colette, Whitney and Brian
This is awesome! I think especially for many of the day to day donations as opposed to specific project asks, this report on the Sujatha Special Needs Home gives an enormous amount of transparency to donors and supporters. Agreed if you can get governments/authorities to see this on a regular basis may also inspire them to offer some support knowing where the funds are going.
Great job !!
– Paul Davies
Many Heartfelt and Warm Thanks for forwarding your latest FG Newsletter that really moved and astounded me. I have forwarded it to 13 of my specially selected friends and associates and pray that – apart from motivating them to lend their support in a tangible manner – most importantly that they are made AWARE that a Foundation such as yours is ACTIVE and EXISTENT in Sri Lanka – the Land of our birth. From me – a very special Thanks for your contribution of what constitutes the Act of Forgiveness – it was specially relevant and inspirational personally.
Blessings and Good Will and Success to you and your team

This is a phenomenal collective of collaborative work !! And against the background of COVID! Kushil, you are a true champion for our people in SL !!

Dear Kushil,
Just been perusing your first Newsletter for 2021 and feel privileged to extend to you my humble but huge respect and congratulations for the unbelievable and varied support – benefits and CARE that the FOG has contributed to the people of my mother country in a year as tragic and sad that was 2020. I will be saving your ‘sermon’ on Generosity for reference and consideration. It is beautifully described. The FoG unique in being a home-based organization that does provide a fantastic spread of help and empowerment. Congratulations, congratulations and congratulations.
With the very best regards,

We came to FoG to see its operations today and what we saw goes beyond anything we have seen in out lifetime. People at FoG consider taking care of others as one of the core aspects of their lives. Their dedication and efforts have to be commended limitlessly. Mr. Kushil took his personal time to make sure we were treated as royals even though we haven’t done a bit from what they have done for the community of Seenigama area and all around the country. We are whole heartily looking forward to contribute to their services in any way possible. Big thanks to Mrs. Ludmila and Mr. Saman for showing us every corner in the facility without taking it as a burden. Their smiles will light up the place for years!
– Lahiru & Nuwan
Thanking you kindly for your hospitality and open welcoming arms!
The work the group has done is truly impressive and definitely got myself and Mihiri thinking of how to incorporate and support with some of the design projects we are leading. I truly believe the time is ripe to support the development of “arts and craft” to a more design, value-added, artisanal direction. The skills and craft shown really have potential!
I look forward to visiting again some time soon and spending more time!
– Robert and Mihiri
Thank you for the wonderful hospitality and company. From organizing interviews, giving us a tour, gifts & a delicious lunch. We shall certainly be back again and hope to join FOG as future volunteers and work with you.
Thank you once again. A special thanks to Kushil and Saman for their amazing work ethic!
