“So learn that you may full and faultless learning gain, Then in obedience meet to lessons learnt remain”
Founded in 1987 as an alumni network, JHC Old Boys Association UK (JHC OBA UK) has grown into a charitable organisation dedicated to advancing education and alleviating poverty in Sri Lanka. While its origins lie in supporting Jaffna Hindu College, its work has expanded to benefit disadvantaged children from impoverished villages, particularly in war-affected and economically struggling regions.
JHC OBA UK promotes education by providing scholarships and grants to underprivileged children, covering school fees, extra lessons, and essential learning materials. The organisation also supplies library books, computers, and interactive technology to enhance learning opportunities. Beyond academics, it encourages extracurricular and sports development by funding play and leisure equipment. Recognising the hardships faced by struggling communities, JHC OBA UK also provides financial assistance to schools, ensuring that students from disadvantaged backgrounds receive free morning and afternoon meals to improve their well-being and educational prospects.
By extending its support beyond the school, JHC OBA UK remains committed to empowering the next generation and uplifting communities in need. Through its initiatives, the association continues to create meaningful opportunities, fostering long-term development and positive change.
