About

Who We Are

Peer 2 Peer Foundation was founded in 2016 by three Bay Area school students from San Francisco, Nathan Jayanthan, Naren Velnambi, and Jayani Ratnam

Nathan and Naren are both friends and second-generation Sri Lankans who have taken notice of the lack of accessibility to education for children in poverty and the challenges faced everyday by schools in the impoverished areas of Sri Lanka. Jayani is also a second generation Sri Lankan who has been involved in charities for visually impaired students from her eighth birthday. They formed Peer 2 Peer Foundation to give back and help the struggling students in Sri Lanka have the opportunity to succeed. With the generous support from the Sri Lankan diaspora community in the Bay Area, friends and family, Nathan, Naren, and Jayani’s mission to support less fortunate students in Sri Lanka is taking shape.

Peer 2 Peer is a non-profit 501(c)3 charity organization based in California, USA.
