Culinary Dreams – Unlocked!

Since 2016, the Empower Culinary & Hospitality School (ECHS) under the MJF Charitable Foundation has been nurturing the next generation of chefs in Sri Lanka. This January, 33 young men and women from our ECHS schools in Moratuwa and Kalkudah are ready for their next chapter. ECHS is Sri Lanka’s only World Association of Chefs’ Societies accredited culinary facility. Its reach extends from the east to the west coast of Sri Lanka and has seen 282 young chefs graduating and pursuing their culinary journeys. What makes ECHS unique is the holistic education it offers from IT, language skills and business management to physical education and home gardening, in addition to practical and theoretical culinary training. Established by our Founder with the aim to empower youth, this inclusive programme brings together young dreamers with diverse abilities, challenges and backgrounds to support a shared dream.
