Our Story
Our organisation was formed in 2009 by a group of old boys from the graduating (GCE Advanced Level) class of 1987 at St John's College, Jaffna with the sole purpose of helping the most vulnerable in our community affected by the civil war. This explains the name SJC87 initiative!
The work of SJC87initiative is not confined to an area or to an institution. Our work is spread across several districts. We work in all needy areas of the North and East of Sri Lanka.
We started our first educational excellence project at Tharmapuram Central College, formerly known as Tharmapuram Maha Vidyalayam, In Kilinochchi.
Following our successful first program at Tharmapuram Central College, we further expanded our activities to cover five more schools in Kilinochchi Education Zone. Soon after that, we were working in schools in the entire Kilinochchi Education Zone. By early 2020, we have reached out even further and currently working in Eleven of the Twelve Edcuation Zones in the Northern Province and One zone in the Eastern Province.
