FAQ
Questions, answered.
Everything people most often ask about CJF Philippines — who we are, who leads us, and how to get involved.
What is CJF Philippines?
CJF Philippines is the Philippine branch of the Courtney Jordan Foundation, a global poverty-prevention foundation founded by Courtney Jordan in 2011 with offices in London and Dhaka. We carry the Foundation’s mission of sustainable independence to communities across Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao.
Who leads CJF Philippines?
CJF Philippines is led by Maria Lourdes Santos, President, Philippines Operations, working alongside the Courtney Jordan Foundation’s global leadership.
What does “Help One, Save Many” mean?
It is the Foundation’s motto. When one person gains the skills, capital or confidence to stand on their own, the benefit spreads to their family, their barangay and beyond — the way one dandelion seed becomes a whole field.
